MAD! Melbourne Adobe Developers: Searn Corfield, Clojure. 21 Aug **TUESDAY**, 2012

[Peter Robertson]

Please Note: We’ve changed the night from our normal Thursday for this month to take advantage of Sean’s visit to Melbourne.

Sean Corfield will present on using Clojure alongside CFML.

World Singles has been using CFML for over a decade but in the last couple of years has decided to add Clojure to the mix, to tackle some of the interesting issues you can face when you have millions of users and many gigabytes of data to process. World Singles has been using Clojure in production for over a year now, alongside CFML. This talk will introduce some of the concepts behind functional programming, offer a brief overview of the Clojure language, and show how well it integrates with CFML to provide large scale data processing, concurrency, and great performance.

More information on Clojure and Sean can be found at http://corfield.org/blog/

Date: Tuesday 21 August 2012
Time: 6:30 PM
Location:
CogState
Level 2
255 Bourke Street
Melbourne, VIC, 3000

A note on the door will provide a number to ring for access.
RSVP: Please reply to this post if you are planning to attend so we know how many pizzas to order.

As always, many thanks to Dale Fraser and CogState for their hospitality. We look forward to seeing you all there.

Sorry for making you change your date like that! It's a bit of a whirlwind trip for my wife to judge a cat show in Tamworth (waves to Andrew M!): we arrive in Sydney on the 17th, spend a few days in Melbourne, then we fly back to Sydney on Wednesday (I'm also giving this talk at the Adobe Platform Group in Sydney that night, the 22nd), then Tamworth (Friday/Saturday), then Sydney again, then back home!

Looking forward to talking with you all - it's been far too long since I last visited Australia! - and I'm happy to take the talk in any direction you want on the night, and deep dive into stuff as the group wants.

Hi Peter,

I’ll be there!

It's in my calendar as well.

Hey - if people from Clojure Melbourne want to come, what's the best way for them to RSVP?

Sounds interesting.  I'll see you all there.

[Peter Robertson]

Good point Mark.  I'm in touch with the Clojure group co-manager and am waiting on a link to the post of the event on the Clojure list.  Clojure folk can just reply on their list, and I'll monitor it, just to keep things simple.

Cheers

Peter

[Mark Mandel]

Now worries. Just trying to help it all out :)

I'd also add that the room can only hold so many comfortably, but I have no
concept of how many are in the Melbourne Clojure group.

Yes, this has been at the back of my mind Dale.  I don't think the whole Clojure group intend to come, but I'll keep an eye on it, may have to cap it if too many respond.

Peter

[Rawdyn Nutting]

I'll be there.

[Mark Mandel]

I was there the other week - I believe there was about 15 people, and that was the largest they had had.

TBH - not sure how many will want to come to a CFML group - but who knows! :)

Mark

[Peter Robertson]

I only have one confirmation so far.

Peter

[Steve Armstrong]

Hi Peter, I will be attending.

Cheers,

Pretty sure they'll need to (temporarily) join the MAD group and RSVP?
I let James Sofra know. Similarly for the Sydney Clojure group :)

Thanks Sean, Peter, Steve and Dale. Great presentation tonight. Got a lot out of it.

Was very good indeed,

Thanks to Sean for taking the time out of his trip to come down and present.

As an 'outsider' I think you guys are very lucky to have such a good cf community in Melbourne also.

Nice to meet you too Rawdyn btw and catch up with a few people I haven't seen since cfobjective ANZ last year

Hear hear, thanks Sean, was a great presentation, very interesting to contemplate such a different way of expressing intents in code. (I still feel a bit dizzy).  I do hope I can make time to drill in a bit.  

Thanks to all those who came along to make it such a great night, and hope to see many of you next month.

Great also to have some visitors from the Clojure/Functional camps, I'd like to see more X-pollination; that can only be a good thing.  

Andrew, don't consider yourself an 'outsider', you're very welcome any time.

We may need to shift the night again next month due to some jet-setting at CogState, I'll keep you all posted.

We're also short a presenter for Sept/Oct, given Gavin's move to the CogState US office.  Anyone?  Anyone?

Remember, ANY topic of interest to professional web devs, including any of the JS frameworks, or what about a good look at Mongo or one of the other NoSQL DBs?

Please let me know if you'd like to do a presentation and remember, presenters get an extra ticket in the six-monthly software draw.

Cheers

Peter

[Sean Corfield]

Glad folks enjoyed the preso - I'll be posting the PDF "real soon now".

I had a blast "down under" and hope to be back again soon-ish. For
those keeping track, we did:
* Sydney opera house, botanical gardens, hyde park, china town,
taronga zoo, harbor, the rocks, manly / north head, aquarium,
parramatta / river
* Melbourne old gaol / watch house, werribee zoo, mornington peninsula
(wineries), phillips island penguin parade, nobbies
* plus Tamworth, Chaffey Dam, Nundle
In 11 days :)

Sean
