The Bay Area Clojure User Group / Palo Alto

We loved hosting our first meetup at the Ladder HQ in Palo Alto last month and we want to do it again!

This time we'll have three talks:

Using ClojureScript to Live-Code Mobile Graphics - Nikhilesh Sigatapu (@snikhilesh (https://twitter.com/snikhilesh))

In this talk I'll show the use of ClojureScript to make a React Native app using Boot and Expo. Then I'll play with the graphics API of Expo to create rotating 3D cubes and other fun things live!

Nikhilesh likes creating interactive experiences and tools to help create interactive experiences. By working on Expo he can do both. He has recently been interested in ClojureScript as a way to get lispy live-coding into the picture!

Data Driven Clients with GraphQL - Huey Petersen (@hueypetersen (https://twitter.com/hueypetersen))

GraphQL is getting a lot of a buzz in recent weeks and there are several options for GraphQL on the server. This talk will take a look at how to build a clojurescript client to interface with GraphQL and enjoy the benefits of data driven clients.

Huey is a fan of Clojure and GraphQL and reshaping the life insurance industry in California. And hiking long trails.

Clojure on the Walz - Daniel Szmulewicz (@danielszmu (https://twitter.com/danielszmu))

If meetups are the modern equivalent of the guildhall, guest speakers can be seen as craftsmen reporting news from the field to an audience of peers. In medieval Europe, when craftsmen took the road during their journeyman years, honing their skills and strengthening their character, they were said to be "on the Walz". As a traveling visitor, I will try to share my experience writing FOSS and organizing meetups in Tel-Aviv. No dance experience required.

Daniel Szmulewicz is a one person startup. He runs a Clojure-powered product bridging e-commerce and social media.

Food and drinks will be provided. See you all in Palo Alto!
