Introduction to ClojureScript!

Look out Houston JavaScript fans! This month's houston.js meetup is going to rock with dual-lightning talks and dual-main presentations. Due to the length of the content we will start the first lightning talk promptly at 6:30pm with the goal of starting the main presentation at 7:00pm. Pizza and sodas will be provided courtesy of PROS.

Lightning Talk Round #1 - 6:30pm

Directions / Location

Park in the parking garage at 3200 Main St 77002. Anywhere that says "PROS Pricing" in blue or above level 6 should be fine. Go to the sky bridge on Level 3 of the parking garage and walk over to 3100 Main. Use the elevators on the right-hand side (north side) to go to Floor 10.

You will need to take a parking ticket to enter, but the exit gates open after 7pm so you can just toss the ticket once you leave.
