Two new transcripts available of talks by Rich Hickey

2019-12-01 Thread Andy Fingerhut
Transcripts of two of Rich Hickey's oldest (and longest) talks are now
published and available, included in a collection of many other talk
transcripts. The newest transcripts are:

(1) "Clojure Concurrency" from March 2008, where he introduced the fairly
well known "ant colony" simulation program to demonstrate refs,
transactions, and agents, here:
https://github.com/matthiasn/talk-transcripts/blob/master/Hickey_Rich/ClojureConcurrency.md


(2) "Clojure for Java Programmers" from June 2008, here:
https://github.com/matthiasn/talk-transcripts/blob/master/Hickey_Rich/ClojureForJavaProgrammers.md


That Github repository contains many other talk transcripts.


If you are interested in helping create transcripts of other talks that do
not have one yet, I am happy to help edit/polish them if someone wants to
volunteer creating a first draft of all or even part of another talk. Offer
your time and coordinate efforts on any of the open Github issues for
not-yet-transcribed talks in that same Github repo.

Regards,
Andy Fingerhut
