Delivered a Clojure presentation for GatorJUG.

Larry Diehl's Clojure presentation for OrlandoJUG will be on February 26. It looks like his presentation will be more thorough, including discussion of multimethods and charting/graphing.

I wrote an article about authentication and authorization in Compojure, in which I show how to create a login form and restrict pages to authorized users.

I wrote an article about using PostgreSQL with Compojure, in which I describe setting up PostgreSQL on Ubuntu, adding a PostgreSQL JDBC library to the classpath, retrieving database records with clojure.contrib.sql, and rendering HTML with compojure.html.

So far I have found a small number of people interested in it, yes. But, I'm the only person that I know that is programming anything with it at the moment.

Hopefully after the OrlandoJUG presentation I'll be able to gauge interest more accurately.

The number of people that are interested in Orlambda will also affect the kinds of presentations. If a lot of people end up being interested, then the meetings would be slower and more introductory.

But, I think it's more likely that a small group of people (<10) would come at first. If that's the case then it could be more fun because we would be able to assume knowledge after the first couple meetings, and move into more complex and interesting presentations.

Have you found anyone else in Orlando that's interested in Clojure? It's a long drive from Gainesville, but I could probably come for weekend meetings.

I should also mention that I'm trying to put together a Clojure users group for Orlando, you can follow that progress here: http://orlambda.ning.com

I moved from Ruby to Common Lisp, and now Clojure. In fact, I'll be giving a Clojure presentation in February for the OrlandoJUG :)

Larry, your Cry article makes it look like you miss using Lisp. Why are you using Ruby instead?

Hey Eric, saw that on the mailing list. Didn't know you were in Gainesville, I'm down in Orlando.

I wrote an article about setting up Compojure on a Slicehost server.
