I think your easiest option might be to use Reagent: http://reagent-project.github.io. You would have to know some html, CSS and Javascript. I doubt there is any way around having some basic knowledge of them. Code Academy have some courses that cover the basics: https://www.codecademy.com/learn/web https://www.codecademy.com/learn/javascript. There is a video on how to set up and use Reagent here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wq6ctyZBb0A. Alan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
