clojuTRE - 2013

clojuTRE is a free event for all interested in Clojure and its usage and applicability in real-world projects.

Event starts with a set of technical talks about clojure in the field & some cool new tech thingies. After the talks which we'll head to sauna facilities next door for open discussions, programming, beer and sauna (towels included).

No previous experience from clojure is required, just bring yourself open-minded. Bring also your own laptop if you want to do some hands-on stuff in the evening, whether you are a newbie or not.

Pages of last year's event can be found here.

In Tampere, Finland. Split into two sites: Presentations are held at Technopolis and the after event in Tulli Business Park sauna (across the street)

Both sites are only few minutes away from the railway station.

You can register to the event here. (Aug 16th note: full house. Add yourself to waitlist, we'll try to get everybody in)

• 20:00 After event (& some drinks)

Learning to pick (Jouni Seppänen, Joel Kaasinen)

The ZenRobotics Recycler comprises multiple software and hardware components for tasks including machine vision, target identification, and robot control. Parts of the system have real-time requirements, and parts need to adapt an evolving environment such as different materials and hardware components. We discuss some of the problems encountered and lessons learned while building the system, including how we address real-time requirements and use machine learning to improve the system.

Single Page Webapps in ClojureScript with Pedestal (Tero Parviainen)

Pedestal is a new open source toolkit for building single page webapps in Clojure and ClojureScript. By providing just the right abstractions, it lets you build significant applications without getting lost in complexity. The things Pedestal lets you do will make any web developer's head spin. But it comes with quite a steep learning curve. There are many concepts to grasp, some of them quite subtle. In this talk I'll share my experiences with Pedestal, having used it in a couple of applications. I'll talk about my difficulties and breakthroughs, hopefully giving you an idea of what Pedestal is and just how useful it can be.

core.async: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Sam Aaron, Christophe Grand and Meikel Brandmeyer)

Gadget lab (Metosin)

Clojure in action with AR.Drones, Leap Motion & stuff

Want to start programming in clojure? Poke us in the after event and let's build & test together your first web app in clojure.
