Talk: Strange Coop: How Clojure saved my chickens from the evil racoons

Christopher Small's talk at Clojure/West is about using Clojure to build a smart chicken coop.

Background

Christopher Small used Clojure on a BeagleBone Black (a small Linux-based computer) to build a smart chicken coop. He will talk about what it takes to get Clojure running on it. Here is his BeagleBone Black and Clojure project on GitHub.

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.
