clojureD 2020: "From Lazy Lisper to Confident Clojurist" by Alexander Oloo

Alexander Oloo shares his journey from learning Lisp dialects to writing Clojure confidently in the financial sector, offering advice for building confidence.

The Clojure community is filled with really smart people, with great ideas writing very few tutorials and less documentation. At times it can be quite intimidating and discouraging. This talk is about how you can build your skill and confidence as a Clojure developer. As well as my journey from Pixie to Hylang and eventually Clojure. We’ll unpack how build your own path to Clojure confidence as well as some of the things I’ve learnt in my journey from being a lousy, lazy lisper to coding confidently to writing Clojure for the financial sector. It’s gonna be a goodie. All skill levels welcome. See you there!
