Practical Clojure Programming
Aside from learning Clojure’s syntax and approach to functional programming and concurrency, there’s also the more mundane issues: What editor do I use? How to I build large projects? How do I share my work with others? This session will discuss IDEs and plugins, command line build tools, and web sites.
This session assumes some familiarity with Clojure’s syntax.

Comments
Agree completely with HLS’s comment below.
But even if we go with the original abstract, the discussion of Mein was far too long. There’s no need to show the build process happening—it provides no info to the audience. A comparative discussion of the plusses/minuses of each build tool would have been more informative and, I believe, shorter.
Disappointed that IDE presentation did not cover debugging until this question was raised by an attendee.
Nonetheless, as you’d expect from HLS, the info was technically correct and he mixed in astute opinions and observations.
Would love to sit in on a Clojure intro by HLS.
I’d like to apologize to anyone who had trouble with this session; it should have been titled “Practical Clojure Development” to match the abstract. And perhaps I should have ignored the abstract and presented my updated version of last year’s Clojure talk, which is more of an intro to the language.
