  • World Singles at Clojure/West

    Updated: 2012-01-26 07:21:15
    I was very pleased today to get confirmation that my team are all going to Clojure/West in San Jose in March! We've been a CFML house for a decade but we're using Clojure more and more on the back end to provide a high-performance, concurrency-safe foundation for our application. Back in December a couple of us attended Clojure/conj, with three days of Clojure training for one of our team. Now we're training up another team member on Clojure, and in March three of us will attend the Clojure conference, with training on Cascalog (big data analysis) for one of our team. It's an exciting time to be a developer!
