Good day TriJug! At a TriJug in October, Aaron Bedra presented "Programming Clojure" to you all. Have you had a chance to take a deeper look at Clojure yet? Well, whether you are just starting to look into the power of the Clojure programming language, or are ready to jump in and really start to learn how to best apply this language to your day job, I'd like to tell you about the Clojure training that Clojure/core is offering right in Durham! http://roadshow.clojure.com/durham.html Since the Triangle is our home, we are kicking off our Clojure/core Roadshow in Durham with an Introduction to Clojure training class. This course is for anyone who has an interest in learning more about functional programming in general, and Clojure in particular. Although the course is geared toward participants with some level of programming experience, it does not assume any existing knowledge of Clojure. Daily sessions alternate between lectures and lab work, and you should expect several hours of direct programming practice with instructors circling through participants to answer questions and encourage new practices. Topics explored over the three day class include * Functions * Names and Namespaces * Collections * Flow Control * Concurrency * Polymorphism * Macros * ClojureScript * Life on the JVM As an added bonus, we'll be adding a fourth, special day, where we will offer a workshop on Datomic, the new distributed database built for the cloud. If you know somebody outside of the Triangle who might be interested in Clojure, ClojureScript or Datomic training, please point them to http://roadshow.clojure.com to keep an eye out for when we might be closer to them. Please let me know if you have any questions about our training offering. Thanks for your time! -- Christopher Redinger Clojure/core http://clojure.com
