(iterate think thoughts)

It's often useful to be able to tell how much resources your app happens to be using.

In this post we'll look at writing a RESTful service using Duct and compojure-api.

Update After having some discussions with the author of HTTP Kit and doing a deeper evaluation of Immutant I'm switching to it as the default.

One interesting part I noticed about working with Clojure is that I practically never look for solutions to problems on Google or StackOverflow.

There was a recent discussion on google groups regarding migrations and handling of database credentials in Luminus.

In this post, we'll take a look at a basic usage example for Pulsar and see how to package it for production.

update: Figwheel changed recently and the new process of starting the REPL is documented on the official Wiki.

In this post we'll look at working with websocks using Reagent and HTTP Kit.

First, I'd like to thank all those who purchased the first edition of the book.

I'm excited to announce the release of Luminus 2.0.

In this post we’ll see how to create a simplistic plugin system where plugins can be supplied as Leiningen dependencies and automatically initialized without any additional code change in the application.

I'm happy to report that Dan Holmsand has graciously agreed to move Reagent to a GitHub Organization called the reagent-project.

The blog has officially been moved over to Cryogen.

Cryogen is a new Clojure static site generator by Carmen La.

Clojure Cup results are in and you can see the winning entries here.

A little while back Chris Allen discovered the joys of Haskell.

There are already lots of guides introducing Clojure syntax and many of its features, but these guides tend to focus on individual examples as opposed to the broad concepts behind the language.

I recently discovered that Light Table REPL works with ClojureScript without the need for any specific setup in your project.

One thing I’ve always found to be particularly tedious is having to create data bindings for form elements.

I recently needed to watch files for changes and had a chance to play around with using the WatchService functionality in JDK 7.

In the last post, we looked at using Reagent for building single page apps.

Background I recently started working on a new project that has a significant UI component.

On paper static typing sounds strictly superior to dynamic typing.

First thing I'd like to say is that I'm very excited by the shift in nature of Clojure books that are coming out.

It's been nearly 5 month since Selmer was released.

I'm happy to announce that Web Development With Clojure has finally reached beta and it's now available for purchase.

I find that I often get excited about learning a new language, but after I use it for a while it will inevitably lose its lustre.

Rationale There are a number of templating engines available in Clojure.

Access rule handling in lib-noir has seen some major rework.

It's been nearly a year since lib-noir was split out into a stand-alone library.

I maintain a Clojure Markdown parser library called markdown-clj.

I was recently asked to review the Clojure Data Analysis Cookbook.

I recently started working on a project using ClojureScript and it's turning out to be a really good experience so far.

First of all, I'd like to thank all those who've helped with Luminus.

I'm happy to announce that Luminus now defaults to using Clabango for HTML templating instead of Hiccup.

Update: Selmer is currently the recommended Django style templating engine As you may know, there are a few Clojure templating engines floating around.

I've had a bit of time to hack on lib-noir recently.

The latest release of Luminus is no longer using a custom server.clj which starts up Jetty using run-jetty.

The work on the framework continues steadily, and I've been integrating some of the feedback I got on the initial release.

In this post I'd like to give some updates on the progress of Luminus and the direction it's moving in.

Since the retirement of Noir, there aren't any batteries included web frameworks for Clojure.

If you've used Leiningen before, you've already seen templates in action.

It was recently announced that Noir is being deprecated.

I finally got a chance to play around a bit more with ClojureScript.

There are a bunch of reporting options out there, JasperReports is one popular example.

Liberator is a recent Clojure library for writing RESTful services.

In the last part of the tutorial we saw how we can use a request handler wrapper to fix the redirect URLs.

In the first part of the tutorial we've already seen how to run our application in standalone mode.

In this section we will learn how to add some JavaScript to the application and how to use Ajax to query the service.

Securing Pages This part of the tutorial will focus on controlling page visibility, form validation, and handling complex form parameters.
