If you know me well then you probably know how in love I am with serverless backends, cloud functions, lambdas, and whatever other fancy names they can give for basically a pay-only-for-what-you-use server. I'm also pretty fond of the Serverless Framework (https://github.com/serverless/serverless) which let's you easily scaffold out a new project meant to be run on a serverless architecture. Although I've only been using it for AWS Lambda, I recently made a little mistake that turned out to be a great discovery, and in this post I'll tell you all about it!

I have a bad habit of starting long, ambitious blogs posts but not finishing them. Hopefully this will be be a short and easy one. This post is about the difference between def and let in Clojure!
Reagent is an awesome marriage of a React, an industry standard web front-end based on immutable component state, with ClojureScript, a functional lisp programming language with a terse syntax that heavily leverages immutable data. This post is about how to easily create a Reagent project that will get you up and running with familiar tooling similar to other React and NodeJs.
I'm about a month late on this, but this morning I just watched the video of David Nolan's "Now What?" talk from the EuroClojure 2016 conference. I've been working a lot with classic JavaScript and also TypeScript recently, but he really got me excited again about ClojureScript, React, and functional programming. Definitely watch the video for yourself, but just for your own information I've distilled what I think are the key takeaways below.
This is an awesome video out there on Youtube that covers ClojureScript development from the very basics to more advanced topics like building an actual React application in ClojureScript using the Reagent library. The video has a interesting Socratic style where one guy acts as the novice, asking the questions that a viewer may be wondering. The other, although he humbly says that he's not an expert, plays the roles of Socrates, explaining the answers to the questions asked. Overall, I'd recommend it if you're just getting into ClojureScript since it exposes you to some of the syntax, lingo, tools, and frameworks of the ClojureScript world.
