Talk: Building CircleCI's Frontend With Om

Brandon Bloom's talk at Clojure/West is about Om in production.

Background

It's hard to believe, but Om was actually started in December 2013. That's just 16 months ago. There hasn't been a lot of time for companies to explore it in production. Brandon Bloom helped build CircleCI's ClojureScript and Om frontend, which is now open source. This will be a wonderful glimpse into the challenges and advantages of Om in a production system.

At last year's Clojure/West, David Nolen introduced Om and the design decisions behind it. And more recently at React.js Conf 2015, David Nolen went a bit deeper.

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.
