Clojure Programming Workshops

Next workshop: October 1st 2016 (30th Sept install party)

ClojureBridge is a free workshop to teach you the Clojure programming language, primarilly aimed at those who identify as women, transgender & non-binary.

We support people who are completely new to programming, through to existing developers new to Clojure.

Why learn Clojure?

Clojure is a modern programming language that can be use to build apps for the web, mobile devices and desktop. The simple syntax of the Clojure language makes it a great choice for those new to programming. The syntax also makes it easy for existing developers to learn functional programming via Clojure.

Clojure has a huge amount of libraries available to help you build a wide range of apps really quickly. As Clojure is also a hosted language on JavaScript/Node.js, Java or Microsoft .Net, you can use all the libraries from those host platform too.

Workshop

The ClojureBridge Curriculum introduces you to fundamental programming concepts in Clojure through many practical examples and exercises. Teachers and assistants are there to guide you and help you build your first apps in Clojure.

Requirements:

Each participant requires their own laptop with either MacOSX, Linux or Windows operating system. We help you set up your laptop for Clojure during the install party.
