Description

YOW! DepthFirst Workshop

Building Ux/Mobile Apps Using React.js and ClojureScript with Kevin Lynagh


This workshop outlines the "big ideas" of Clojure and ClojureScript: functional programming, immutable data, and first-class platform interoperability.

While these ideas may seem strange at first, they can be powerful once mastered, regardless of the language in which you choose to express them.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN

The workshop will alternate between lecture and hands-on practice. During this time you'll use a full working ClojureScript application as an area in which to explore these ideas:

  • Building an app from a set of pure functions
  • Using familiar JavaScript libraries and native objects from within ClojureScript
  • The React.js functional rendering model, and how it allows live in-app updates to templates and behavior
  • Modeling an app via a state machine, allowing for simpler testing and iteration on the visual design


REQUIREMENTS

All tooling and a sample application will be provided to participants: all you'll need is a Windows, OS X, or Linux computer with Java installed.

Optional background reading will be provided in advance to participants.
