Questers Tech MeetUp: Re-Frame: Data-Oriented, Functional Design In Clojurescript

We are back in Sofia! And can’t wait to meet you at our next tech talk. This time we will be talking about reactive programming, functional programming and immutable data in a language that embraces those paradigms – Re-frame.

Re-frame is a pattern for writing single-page applications in ClojureScript, using Reagent (a ClojureScript library that wraps up React).

During the presentation, our colleagues Nikolay Penchev and Denislav Andreev from the Funding Circle team will discuss the mechanisms of Re-frame:

• Data layer
• Query layer
• View layer
• Control layer and/or state transition layer

They will also explain how to separate a front-end application on events and group them by type. They will demonstrate how simple Re-frame is (it Is just around 700 lines) but scales up nicely to more complex apps.

In the end, they will talk about some of the apps they are building at Funding Circle and how they benefit from using such a framework instead of writing their own.

 Make sure to join us! Registration is free but required.
