10 Clojure Coding Techniques You Should Know and Project Openbike

What are ten Clojure coding techniques that you wish everyone knew? Wes and Troy from TurboVote helped me come up with a great list of tips and techniques. This will be a practical topic with lots of room for debate. There typically isn't one "right way" to do things in Clojure, so we will discuss solving real world problems. Expect a high degree of audience interaction.

Networking starts at 6, technical presentation at 6:30.

Around 7:30 we'll check in on Surlybird and the status of Project Openbike.

Topics:

Threading macro

for (and all of its options)

going from let to destructuring

what goes in your docstrings?

repl tricks

clojure-test, with-redefs

get-in, assoc-in

Ruby symbols to Clojure keywords

require: prefix the ns or only pull in functions you need

code organization: util vs. support (orphan) namespaces
