"Clojure: Towards the Essence of Programming" in Paris Feb 8th

Posted by: Howard Lewis Ship on 02/03/2010

Clojure Icon I'll be presenting Clojure: Towards the Essence of Programming on Monday Feb 8th at 19:00, in Paris. The event will be held at Zenika, SkillsMatter's partner in France. You must register for the talk ahead of time.

I'm really excited about this talk; I've had a chance to "preview" it at CodeMash, and have used the feedback to make it even stronger.
