Creating more recorded video content around REPL driven development of high quality, improving speed of editing with Blender.org as well as better script writing and delivery practice.
Represented Clojure at the JVMWars 2020 online meetup, giving a short presentation which included a brief demo of REPL driven development.
Continuing the Live broadcasts covering the developmment of the Banking on Clojure web application. - 084 - Banking On Clojure - Part5 - Generated database records from clojure.spec - 085 - Banking On Clojure - Part6 - Refactor database schema, specs and namespaces
Invested time to understand the changes coming to the Clojure CLI tools and understand the opportunities that Clojure exec (:exec-fn & :exec-args) brings to aliases. These changes provided a catalyst to start redesigning the aliases used in practicalli/clojure-cli-config.
Continued support for Practicalli by Clojurists together is much appreciated and there are several hundred content ideas for the continued work.
Highlights of the last two weeks includes:
Started series called Banking on Clojure to cover application servers, sql and relational databases. This will cover the full development and deployment workflow, including clojure.spec for specifications and generative testing.
Added more tools to practicalli/clojure-cli-config
Add anchors to all sub-headings across all books, making content easier to navigate by enabling navigation to specific sections in a page. This helps keep relevant information together on one page and reference a specific section from other pages.
Continuous integration and deployment was the main focus of this period, with some Clojure spec generative testing.
Added Practicalli website and YouTube channel to the Clojure.org community resources.
After the broadcasts on Clojure spec, moving on to more tooling centric topics. Starting with Unit test runners for Clojure CLI tool and preparing a series on continuous integration, packaging and deployment.
Flu symptoms have finally eased, so planning video tutorials in the later part of the sponsorship.
Continued with Practicalli Clojure updates and weekly broadcasts covering Clojure spec and generative testing.
Also updates on Practicalli Spacemacs, including a move to doom modeline theme for a clean and modern look to Spacemacs.
I was still feeling the affects of illness for some of this period, but steadily improving.
Unfortunately I was ill for most of this period, so not as much achieved this time. I am (and always intended to) extending the work passed the Clojurists Together sponsor period.
Unfortunately illness caught up with me towards the end of this period, but otherwise I have been busy with the weeekly broadcasts and improvements to the Practicalli Clojure book, updating the install guides to Clojure CLI tools and repl driven development sections.
