Join us for a Clojure talk by Tapestry author Howard Lewis Ship. Thanks to Consultis for Pizza and Cambridge Web Design for organization.
Here's a little about what Howard plans to cover:
"Clojure is a fascinating new(er) programming language, created by Rich Hickey, that combines the ubiquity and performance of Java with the power and expressiveness of Lisp. Clojure excels at interesting problems, especially those involving concurrency, but can also freely interoperate with standard Java. Clojure developers quickly become passionate about this odd little hybrid: it's easy to learn, yet deeply powerful, and is at the heart of a vibrant and exciting eco-system of tools and libraries."
Howard Lewis Ship, the creator and lead developer for the Apache Tapestry project, is respected in the Java community as an expert on web application development, dependency injection, Java meta-programming, and developer productivity. He has well over twenty years of full-time software development under his belt, with over fifteen years of Java. He cut his teeth writing customer support software for Stratus Computer, but eventually traded PL/1 for Objective-C and NeXTSTEP before settling into Java. For the last year, Howard has been working full time in Clojure as well.
Howard is a frequent speaker at JavaOne, NoFluffJustStuff, ApacheCon, and other conferences, and the author of "Tapestry in Action" for Manning (covering Tapestry 3.0).
Howard is an independent consultant, offering training, mentoring, and project work in Tapestry as well as other interesting technologies such as Clojure and AngularJS. He lives in Portland, Oregon with his wife Suzanne, and his children, Jacob and Olivia.

Chris Wasser is bringing some adaptors, in case we need them.
Had a good run through of this talk last night; I expect to make it even better for next Thursday.
One issue is that I left my mini-display port to VGA cable behind in Portland; we cobbled something together using screen sharing. What kind of projector and cable do you have at the Orlando JUG? If necessary, I can run out a purchase the right cable.
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

By Claudio MasoloThe latest release of Jetpack Compose, announced at Google I/O 2024, brings several extensions, including support for shared element transitions, lazy list item animations, improved performance, and more.
By Sergio De SimoneTo build large-scale safety-critical systems, we need to decompose the system into smaller solvable problems, resolve what is known, and resolve unknowns through experiments, Robin Yeman argued. She suggested investing in test environments for both software and hardware early to enable being test-driven early to increase the safety, security, reliability, and availability of the systems.
