Clojurians Log v2

Hi all, I’m looking for recent talks that showcase Om.next’s features and philosophy. I’m currently watching “Om Next -David Nolen” from EuroClojure 2015, but that’s 2 years old by now - anything newer?

it’s a legit om.next talk

all basics are the same

in my opinion

https://fulcrologic.github.io/fulcro/docs.html#video-guides these are very good

My path to learn om.next and put a production project with it : - 1) learn Datomic query syntax - 2) read all om.next talk - 3) Read all fulcro (was untangled then) docs http://fulcrologic.github.io/fulcro/guide.html#!/ - 4) build some components (puer front) - 5) try routing with compassus or fulcro - 6) understand union & join - 7) work on a little project with it

Oh, fulcro based on Om.next then? Also nice 🙂

fulcro is a lib that provide wrapper to ease om.next development

it’s a really good one

BUT if you really want to understand what’s going on, I suggest you to understand how “pure” om.next workd

works

I haven’t yet written a single line of Clojure so I have to tackle that first, but I have to say that seeing this kind of approach is a breath of fresh air. Many thanks to everyone involved in these open source projects.

well, I would say to try Fulcro first, Om.next I think is more like a kernel

lol

Be curious !!

it's very intersting to learn how it works, but if you are just trying to build an app it can be a bit frustrating, so I would recommend this a secondary step

yeah i consider Om Next a low-level library to be built on top of as well

yes me too

but I think I would not understand om.next as well if I started directly with fulcro, but that’a an opinion

what ever works for you is the right way

fair enough

I’m trying to find a nugget that I can wrap my head around first without going too deep. I have a lot of reading and thinking to do, thanks all 🙂

and if you never wrote a clojure code, congratulation, your life will become more awesome

http://clojure.org is a good starting point (was for me)

and try cursive if you want to start straightaway

I’m half way through a couple of books, but now I need to start applying.

with intelliJ

Reading code from books is actually much harder - I just installed NightCode and, look, colored parentheses 🙂

@orestis https://fulcrologic.github.io/fulcro/guide.html#!/fulcro_devguide.A_Quick_Tour this is a quick intro to Fulcro

if you haven't read https://www.braveclojure.com/ and/or https://aphyr.com/posts/301-clojure-from-the-ground-up-welcome yet i can highly recommend them

I’m half way through Joy of Clojure and Brave and True. It’s funny since I learned Elixir last year and other than the non-lispy syntax there are a lot of similarities (though Elixir is a Lisp-2 like language).

yeah i've heard very good things about Elixir

and https://github.com/clojerl/clojerl exists as well 😉

Too many balls in the air 🙂 but interesting to try out 6 months from now 🙂

hahah indeed!

no rush 🙂
