We're going to have two talks this month. First Russell Mull will present:

Logic Programming from the Inside Out

Description: Learn about the guts of miniKanren and core.logic, obtaining a deeper understanding of the fundamental truths of logic programming. (And also some neat functional programming tricks)

Then I'll lead a workshop on:

Single Page Apps with ClojureScript, Figwheel, Reagent, etc.

Description: We'll do a quick high-level workshop to introduce using ClojureScript with Reagent to create a very simple web app. I'll show a work flow using Figwheel and we'll discuss some architectural decisions as time allows.

If you've been meaning to look into ClojureScript this is a great way to start and if you're experienced come and share your thoughts and help others.

Bring your laptop with leinengen installed or team up with others at the meeting.

ClojureScript has the best client side work flow available. Beating out JS (even with modern tooling), and other compile to JS languages. With ClojureScript and figwheel we have hot code reloading, stable application state across reloads, & an interactive browser connected REPL. You can develop your client side app as if you where inside the browser. In this short presentation we will go over what figwheel does, how to set it up, and demo what it is like to build an SPA in ClojureScript + Om.

Jordan Schatz is a polyglot software engineer, working in Clojure, ClojureScript, Python, Javascript, Racket, PHP among other languages to build and scale systems for the last 10 years. He has a particular love of functional programming, dev ops & NoSQL/new data stores. Outside of computer science he pursues interests in alternative energy systems, alternative architecture and the life sciences.

Learn how to build a todo list as a single page application (SPA) from scratch using Django, Vue, Axios, and Bootstrap. No prior knowledge is required, but basic knowledge of these four libraries will help clarify things. Django: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/intro/tutorial01/ Vue: https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/ Axios: https://github.com/axios/axios Bootstrap: (only 3 links allowed in description ;), check out the meetup page for more) Presented by PDX Code Guild Instructor Matthew Cooper

In this Tech Talk, we will build a modern, decoupled, full-stack application with Vue and Flask. Starting with the front-end, we'll cover the basics of the Vue CLI using Vuetify and the Vue router to build a single page application. Then, on the back-end, we'll implement an API with Flask to store and retrieve data in a database.
