Simplifying Access to Important Economic Data with Cameron Jéan Barré

Simplifying Access to Important Economic Data, or: Creating A Static Site with 50,000+ Pages

Learn to generate a large static site with Clojure and take a walk through an active project. You'll learn how to import data into PostgreSQL with CLI tools to avoid writing too much code while prototyping. Experience Clojure's leverage with a demonstration of how few lines of code you need to create a compelling piece of software. Learn about the data science oriented static site generator, Oz, declarative data visualization tools Vega and Vega-Lite, as well as some interesting facts about government economic data and macro-economic indicators.

The meetup start time is listed as 6:00, which is generally when we start to get everyone together for introductions and announcements, leaving a little time for those hustling after work to still make the start of the talk. Please don't arrive before 5:30, so that Puppet has time to clear room for everyone.
