Morning
re: JVMs, 8, but eyeing up 11
Aloha beautiful people 🙂
re: figwheel ports - should the template that generates figwheel projects make up a random port, and the you can manually reconfigure / git commit if there’s a conflict?
(the whole port registry thing sounds like a whole lot of complexity)
With Figwheel main, people now navigate to Figwheel manually. But yeah, I think a random port, maybe combined with an optional "taken ports" edn file is the better solution here.
re: what everyone else is now talking about - good morning!
måning
Had a notification I had a threaded comment waiting, but it had fallen off the end of the 10k free message storage limit, so I couldn't make the notification go away...
I'm thinking of expanding the clojure web apps workshop that I ran the other day as people have been asking for next steps
and I was thinking something along the lines of hartl's classic Rails Tutorial where you make a small Twitter clone
my question is
which tech to choose as the basis for teaching it?
options: 1. Luminus (prob w/ re-frame) 2. Duct (prob w/ re-frame) 3. Compojure-api (API) and re-frame (frontend)
I did a lot of my learning from Luminus but there’s an awful lot going on to pick up anything meaningful.
what's everybody using for their real-world stuff? I've used 1 & 3 a lot as patterns for clj(s) web apps
vote on this msg if you like by clicking the emoji or reply with thoughts, thanks everyone 🙂
@alex.lynham going to plug myself a little https://github.com/juxt/edge/tree/master/tutorial.vent
We built this for a workshop. I would be interested in potentially collaborating. Although this was designed around trying to teach clojure, and the web part of it is hidden to the user.
ah, so my goal is getting a web app done in clojure so they learn the clojure almost by stealth/without it being the thing they focus on/get intimidated by
doesn't sound like our goals are that different though 🙂
I guess the other thing guiding the choice betwixt the three above is that I kinda want people to finish it and then be able to get a job as 'I've done some clojure and know how to put together a simple production ready clj web app'
like, they've touched all the parts and feel confident
b/c I remember that as what the Rails Tutorial felt like having come from PHP
When I say "hidden" I mean that code is tweaked, and then the UI automatically updates. I went pretty far, I even made it so (reset)
triggered the frontend to re-fetch data.
I'll have a read of the readme and the code 🙂
Sounds like your goal is definitely bigger than mine was, but we're actually really keen to have some additional tutorials as part of Edge's set. vent was designed for lighter sessions, but I really want a full end-to-end tutorial eventually.
cool, I'll have a tinker 🙂
I guess classic issue is unlike Ruby there's not one standard web stack, but that's cool too
why not luminus tho? I liked it, and I was also thinking of doing something like “stealth teaching programming”, and having a ready made skeleton with gaps to fill out is an excellent way to motivate people who need small successes to gain confidence
I've used this for showing clojure microservices before... need to bump the deps and dockerize it if I'm going to use it again as it hasn't been used in a year lol https://github.com/the-frey/compojure-api-integrant
I quite like the opinionated approach of potentially going 'here's a front end repo and a back end repo' à la option 3 as that's probably how I would encourage a team to build projects in python or what have you now as I've seen for SPAs that often scales pretty well
so far looks like compojure-api is 'winning'... interesting
I had thought compojure api had been succeeded by retit https://github.com/metosin/reitit
duly noted, wasn't aware that was the new way of doing it 🙂
@alex.lynham I'm not entirely sure it is, but I had thought I'd read something about it.
it looks like it supports most of the same use-cases, for sure
will need to dig a little deeper I think, but I appreciate the link 🙂
(I've also made a copy of this poll on jobs-discuss
to see what folk there say)
@dominicm hasn't blown his own trumpet yet, so I'll help him out a little 😉 https://twitter.com/juxtpro/status/1093531902269628419
since we have iirc by far the most active regional sub-slack, and therefore a large amount of ontopicicity, I think we should forgive ourselves a degree of offtopicicity @otfrom
I'm mostly here for (sometimes UK-specific) OT banter. I'm surprised when talk turns to Clojure 🙂 I mean, I can get that anywhere!
