Continuing with previous series of blog posts, in this third part we'll learn how to load some test data using clojure-yaml. After loading the test data, we'll explore how to create a simple template using enlive and render the home page for our Clog - blog. Make sure you checkout Part 1 and Part 2 as well.

To harness the energy that fuels both these drives, we need to move beyond the New Groupthink and embrace a more nuanced approach to creativity and learning. Our offices should encourage casual, cafe-style interactions, but allow people to disappear into personalized, private spaces when they want to be alone. Our schools should teach children to [...] Read more – ‘→ The Rise of the New Groupthink’.
Clojure is general-purpose compiled, dynamic, Lisp-dialect language that targets JVM (also .Net CLR and JavaScript). There are many ways you can build a Web application using Clojure. You can use a simple framework like Noir or you can pick and choose libraries you like and build your own web stack along the way. I assume that you already started learning Clojure using some tutorial or a good Clojure book.
In this blog post series I'll explain how to build a web application using Clojure. Creating a blogging engine seems to be the equivalent "hello world" for Web application development, so let us build a blog engine in Clojure: Clog.

It’s been a bit over a week, and so far [...] Read more – ‘Jason Fried on Nokia Lumia 800 + WP7.5’.
0 vs. nothing is one of those abstract distinctions that’s almost impossible to talk about directly; you more have to do it with examples. Imagine there’s a certain math class, and in this class there’s a fiendishly difficult 100-point midterm, and imagine that neither you nor I get even one point out of 100 on [...] Read more – ‘Difference between 0 and ‘nothing’’.
