Building a System in Clojure (and ClojureScript)

Building a System in Clojure (and ClojureScript) by Matthias Nehlsen.

From about this book:

This book is about building a complex system in Clojure and ClojureScript. It started out as a blog series about my BirdWatch application, a side project for reasoning about a live stream of tweets coming in from the Twitter Streaming API and visualized in a web application that is written in ClojureScript.

In the book, we will follow the data and watch how it is transformed in different parts of the application until it finally triggers the user interface to change within a few hundred milliseconds after a tweet has been tweeted.

For now, I have only transferred the articles from the aforementioned series, but over the holidays I will work on adapting the content to the book format and also start working on new content.

Please sign up as a reader for free if you think you might at all be interested in the topics that will be covered. Later on, you can decide if you want to pay the suggested price or not. Of course you can also pay right away if you like, but that’s entirely up to you. In either case, you want to click the Buy Now button. Then you can select an amount between zero and infinity.

Feedback during the writing process is much appreciated. There’s a Google Group for this purpose.

Now is a great time to sign up as a reader or to purchase this book!

The non-configurable push down flow of tweets in my current Twitter client is simply intolerable. I get a day or more behind in tweets and prefer to avoid attempting to accurately scroll a day or more backwards in the feed.

Searching history plus current tweets may not do everything I want but Matthias’ book may help me tweak the interface into something more to my liking.

While you are looking at this book, check out some of the other books and publishing model at Leanpub. I don’t have any personal experience with Leanpub but it sounds like a publishing venue worth pursuing.
