Hey guys, I have studied the sample code snippets on the github page, read through several tutorials and watched many talks on core.async, but am still unable to effectively implement this library in my programs. I am trying to level up here with this subject, but feel like the existing docume

I'm not sure if you have watched it yet, but my Clojure/Conj talk includes quite a few examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enwIIGzhahw The code from all the examples is available here: https://github.com/halgari/clojure-conj-2013-core.async-examples Timothy On Mon, Apr 28, 2014 at 8:42 AM

Thank you Timothy, I did watch that talk! In fact, it was one of the videos that really piqued my enthusiasm in core.async. I had no idea that the code was available on github. Good news. I am thinking now about how I could use core.async to do useful/fun things: web-service or browser game, s

Thanks for the recommendation. This book looks awesome. Why haven't I heard of it?! Jesse On Tuesday, April 29, 2014 12:16:20 AM UTC+9, Alex Ott wrote: > > The "Seven Concurrency Models in Seven Weeks: When Threads Unravel" ( > http://pragprog.com/book/pb7con/seven-concurrency-models-in-seven

Thank you Mars0i!! I have a first edition copy of JOC and really like the way it just lays things out for you. I am hesitating to buy the 2nd edition, though, due to the hefty price-tag, though I am curious about logic programming and data. Would you say it is worth the money? I am now reading

Nice to know about the 7 models book. I wasn't aware of it. I can't give you an opinion about JoC 2nd vs. 1st ed., though. I haven't read either thoroughly. I only got the first edition when I bought the pre-release 2nd edition package last fall. I don't have an e-reading platform that I li
