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.
Walking through a video taking a functional approach to the Tic-Tac-Toe game for the Clojure study group.
Added more 4Clojure solutions
def supports a doc-string (I missed that ability previously).
Emacs Window management when running tests in Cider with Spacemacs.
The Logitech MX Ergo trackball mouse arrived today and it is so nice to use. Its a trackball so the mouse itself stays static on the desk avoiding the need to move my hand around and therefore reducing RSI. Using a trackball also means very little space is use. The trackball is tilted so the hand is in a natural and more comfortable position, the same position I configured with my tented Model01 keyboard.
