Talk: No-strings mobile app development for Clojure

Zachary Kim's talk at Clojure/West is about writing native mobile applications in Clojure.

Background

Clojure on mobile is getting a lot of attention recently. ClojureScript has always allowed for WebKit development on the iPhone. Kevin Lynagh wrote Weathertron, released in June 2013, which used ClojureScript and Angular.js. And more recently Mike Fikes has created an Objective-C/ClojureScript bridge called Goby. And of course, there's a lot of excitement now about React Native and the ClojureScript workflow for using that. Mike Fikes is also working on a ClojureScript REPL for iOS. Zachary Kim does not give us any clues in the talk description, so we'll just have to make do with these.

This post is one of a series called Pre-West Prep, which is also published by email. It's all about getting ready for the upcoming Clojure/West, organized by Cognitect. Conferences are ongoing conversations and explorations. Speakers discuss trends, best practices, and the future by drawing on the rich context built up in past conferences and other media.

That rich context is what Pre-West Prep is about. I want to enhance everyone's experience at the conference by surfacing that context. With just a little homework, we can be better prepared to understand and enjoy the talks and the hallway conversations.

Clojure/West is a conference organized and hosted by Cognitect. This information is in no way official. It is not sponsored by nor affiliated with Clojure/West or Cognitect. It is simply me (and helpers) curating and organizing public information about the conference.
