I have been getting a lot of requests from various places for people skilled in Linux/FOSS in the context of embedded systems/web applications etc - I hope to take a few *good* students (who have completed their B.Tech/B.E course) and train them thoroughly so that they are ready to work in these domains. 2010-05-06T00:00:00+00:00 http://pramode.net/2010/05/06/clojure-blog-updates <h2>Clojure blog updates</h2> <p>May 6th 2010</p> <p> <a href="http://pramode.net/clojure/2010/05/06/project-euler-palindrome-clojure/">A simple Project Euler problem in Clojure</a> <p> <a href="http://pramode.net/clojure/2010/05/03/clojure-complement-implementation/">The clojure.core implementation of `complement'</a> <p> <a href="http://pramode.net/clojure/2010/05/01/clojure-java-interop/">Clojure Java interop - a simple example</a> 2010-04-29T00:00:00+00:00 http://pramode.net/2010/04/29/clojure-blog-announce <h2>Announcing my Clojure blog!</h2> <p>2010-4-29</p> <p> Students who have gone through my "Java notes" know that I am a <a href="http://pramode.net/2006/01/07/the-perils-of-java-schools/">certified Java hater</a> - they are surprised seeing me read books like "Core Java" and "Java Concurrency in practice"; have I changed my mind and decided to become a Java lover? <p> No chance! All these years have not changed my sentiments towards Java, the language. The reason I am learning Java these days is because an amazing guy called Rich Hickey has created a wonderful language, <a href="http://clojure.org">Clojure</a>, and Clojure runs on the JVM. I need to understand Java, the platform, in order to understand Clojure. <p> If you are a developer thinking of learning a new programming language, do give Clojure a try - it implements some <a href="http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Value-Identity-State-Rich-Hickey">really neat ideas</a> and has a very active community behind it. I will be sharing my experiments with Clojure on <a href="http://pramode.net/clojure"> my Clojure blog</a>; stay tuned!
