It's ecosystem is packed to the brim with tools that help you achieve more with less typing, less moving parts, and less (or no) mutable state.</p> <p>Come learn about functional programming, tips to getting started and being effective with Clojure, software transactional memory, and persistent data structures. Clojure is language built to tackle the complexity of the systems we face today, and this talk will take you on tour through its features, opinions, and approach.</p> <p>About the speaker:</p> <p>Paul deGrandis lives for magnificent engineering. Elegant, well-founded, useful solutions to problems that say something about engineering's beauty. Currently he is a scientist and co-founder at NDensity - an innovation lab. Previously he worked at Tutorspree (YC), PushButton Labs, Etsy.com, OurShelf (DreamIt), and SilverCloud Software as well as working in advanced research. He's also contributed, time, money, and effort to Code for America, PyPy, and Clojure. He is often speaking on Clojure, distributed systems, and dependable systems. <a href="http://www.pauldee.org/blog">http://www.pauldee.org/blog</a> <a href="http://ndensity.com">http://ndensity.com</a></p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://acm.pdx.edu/">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
