Talk #1: "Approaches to wrapping React"

"React has, in a relatively short time, achieved a centrally important position in user interface development. Several ClojureScript libraries have appeared that seek to wrap React's functionality. Each one faced design decisions relating to how closely to stick to React's structure and what constitutes an idiomatic approach from a ClojureScript perspective. This short talk examines those design decisions with a view to making it easier for someone starting out to make a more informed decision when picking a ClojureScript library."

Speaker profile: Don Ryan is a lecturer in computing, based in Dublin.

Talk #2: on the topic of building Slackbots

"This talk is about building a bot for Slack using the clj-slack-client library to communicate with Slack and the Instaparse library to parse messages."

Speaker profile for Dan Kersten: "I'm a programming enthusiast who loves languages which diverge from the mainstream. I especially enjoy functional programming and Clojure. I started my professional programming career writing anti-spam/fraud software in Java and C++ in the telco industry before moving on to web development in Python, embedded systems in C and now web app development in Clojure."
