Howard Lewis Ship on Clojure at GatorJUG
Howard gave a talk about Clojure last night at the GatorJUG. Wow! We all learned so much. Howard used IntelliJ Idea to code on the fly from memory. We saw some sweet functionality and I think we're all excited about learning more. If you missed last night's GatorJUG, Howard will give the same talk next Thursday at OrlandoJUG 2/20 at DeVry Univ, 4000 Millennia Blvd in Orlando next to Millennia Mall. Stay tuned! Howard says there's more at his website www.howardlewisship.com and he tweets frequently @hlship
