Re: Simple Made Easy - Any Examples?
If you want to improve then you will need to invest time understanding core development concepts. You don't want to accidentally do the right thing because your language pushes you in that direction. Instead, you want to purposefully do the right thing by having a good understanding of the fundamentals (e.g. scope, state, composition, etc.). You want to arrive, by yourself, to many of the same conclusions as Rich. Testing was my route to understanding development at a deeper level. Growing Object Oriented Software Guided by Tests is, in my opinion, one of the best software development books out there. The authors, Steve Freeman and Nat Pryce, will show you how to decompose, simplify, and analyze your code by probing it with tests. They cover a wealth of topics including composition, context independence, values, design, unit testing, acceptance testing, and more. They also provide an extensive working example to give you insight into their thought processes, practices, and to show you how to apply the concepts. This book is a great starting point for developers looking to get to the next level. In the end, you're just going to have to get your hands dirty and tackle these ideas head on. Check out that book, practice, push yourself, ask yourself a lot of questions, try things, learn from mistakes, don't be satisified or complacent, and, after awhile, you'll find that you can give talks like Rich. =P -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.

The vsClojure Project
I'd like to announce my Visual Studio 2010 Clojure extension project, vsClojure. The extension is not yet complete but provides a base for further enhancements. Currently, it supports syntax highlighting, auto-indentation, brace matching, a Clojure project type, repl support, and a few other minor features. If you're curious you can give it a try, contribute, or just check it out at GitHub (http:// github.com/jmis/vsClojure).

Re: The vsClojure Project
It's very encouraging to see others interested in the project. I've added the licensing information to the grammar file. There's a few other attributions I need to take care of before I can move on with development. The work of the Visual Studio SDK community and the Clojure community is what has allowed me to make so much progress so quickly on vsClojure. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.

vsClojure Release
The first release of vsClojure is now available in the Visual Studio Gallery. You can download it using the extension manager in Visual Studio 2010 and searching for "vsClojure". There should be no manual setup and the extension will work with the Visual Studio 2010 Shell. This release focused on implementing basic features, laying the plumbing for more advanced features and creating a packaging strategy. For a complete list of features please visit http://github.com/jmis/vsClojure. Future releases depend on your feedback. Feel free to open issues in the issue tracker or post suggestions in the discussion group at http://groups.google.com/group/vsclojure-extension.
