I've given the following presentation in 30 minutes: https://github.com/brunokim/learning-clojure. I've used LightTable to change and evaluate code live, mutating from the code in short-preso/ to the one in notes/. It's probably not well annotated, I intended to make a video with that but didn't :P
The public was composed of developers acquainted with concurrency problems and a bit of functional languages, so I didn't need to "sell" immutable data structures, for example. The presentation covers: - Basic syntax - Immutable data structures - Functional idioms (filter, map, reduce) - JVM integration - Concurrency features (atoms and core.async) I refrained from using syntax sugar such as #(...) in favor of (fn [] ...), and also didn't include destructuring, arrows, etc. As you have 45 minutes you may try to include macros, but I find it a bit risky. I'd prefer showing some Clojurescript instead, specially if your audience is composed of Web developers. I received three questions: - Q: What is the best place to start from zero? A: Check out the references.md file at the repo :) - Q: Who uses Clojure? A: Mostly JVM shops, that is, people who also use Java, Scala, etc.; among big players, we can cite Netflix, Twitter, Soundcloud; and we see lots of job offers of financial institutions floating around. - Q: Can it be used to create mobile apps? A: Yes and no, there is Neko but it's not stable yet. If you wish any pointers on how to use it, or better yet, if you know of some more references to include, please let me know!
