- technomancy 16y agoI'll be speaking on Leiningen, my build tool, but I don't want to repeat what's available in the documentation or what _should_ be in the documentation. Open to suggestions for angles to go on this.
- lukev 16y agoIt might be a good idea to open with a 5 minute demo of Leiningen under normal use before you move one to the substance of your talk. Not every Clojurian uses Lien yet, some because they think it's too complicated. Demos that show how easy something is are pretty impressive (It's no accident that Rails and the Screencast became popular simultanously). It also gives you a launching point for further discussion. Personally, I'd like to see a discussion of Lein plugin development - what's possible, what's not, how to hook into the build process, etc.
- hga 16y agoExcellent point. A few minutes spent up front selling Leiningen and providing context for the rest of the talk ought to result in some nice dividends.

Not every Clojurian uses Lien yet, some because they think it's too complicated. Interesting; I hadn't thought of that. > Personally, I'd like to see a discussion of Lein plugin development Plugin development will definitely be covered!
- papaf 16y agoI'd be interested in a discussion of using hooks to order tasks where conventionally dependants or, in the case of maven, lifecycle is used. Leiningen seems to be breaking new ground in this area and it would be interesting to see the advantages/disadvantages and reasons for choosing this approach.
- gruseom 16y agoLeiningen, my build tool Ah, so that was you? Kudos for picking the second most hilarious project name I've ever seen (after Rinda). I hear the build tool is nice too :)
- mark_l_watson 16y agoHello Philip, a little off topic, but: will videos be available for the conference? I would like to attend but can't schedule it. For topics to cover in your talk: some detailed examples of different options for project.clj files (someone I work with created a complex project file with options I didn't know about).
- technomancy 16y ago> some detailed examples of different options for project.clj files This actually strikes me as something that is better-suited for documentation than a presentation since it's a reference-type question. Is there something that's not covered in the sample project.clj file? It's intended to be comprehensive: http://github.com/technomancy/leiningen/blob/master/sample.project.clj http://github.com/technomancy/leiningen/blob/master/sample.p...
- mark_l_watson 16y agoCool, that is very useful. I can see that I am going to spend time today updating my own project files!
- bretthoerner 16y agoI hope the talks will be recorded and posted.
- fogus 16y agoThat is the plan.
