Clojure Meetup – cljfx – Bringing Clojure to the Desktop

Listen to Vlad Protsenko talk about cljfx! https://github.com/cljfx/cljfx https://github.com/cljfx/exploration-template https://vlaaad.github.io/year-of-clojure-on-the-desktop This is a recording from the April 16 2020 Clojure Sweden Meetup – https://www.meetup.com/sthlm-clj/events/269204900/ – hosted by Pilloxa, online. We've kept some of the Meetup context in the video to give you a feeling of what it was like to be there. However, the recording ends just before the best part: the workshop, which was a SUCCESS. Agenda 18:00: The Start - House rules + Who are Pilloxa? 18:10: Vlad Protsenko: Bringing Clojure to the Desktop with cljfx 18:45: Questions 19:00: Pause for grabbing a beer and mingle in the chat 19:05: Breakout workshops 19:45: Back to big meetup, more questions to Vlad 20:00: Wrap up / Closure 😀 (Please stay for mingle) 20:05: Mingle breakouts 20:30: The End The Speaker Vlad likes creating systems that are a joy to interact with, be it games, tools, or TTRPG adventures. After studying to be a designer, he then found his passion to be a software developer, though he kept his craving for a beautiful UI. With cljfx Vlad has brought the declarative and reactive concepts of react, re-frame and reagent from the web to the desktop. Its an exciting alternative to building desktop apps that draws inspiration from the ease-of-use of Electron and combines it with the performance of JavaFX, all in Clojure.
