Clojure

A while ago I did a small introduction to building a simple REST API with Clojure from scratch at Futurice in Berlin.

The tutorial is not complete yet and has some glitches here and there I guess. However, I already got feedback, that I was a good starting point for multiple people without previous Clojure experience. Thanks Nils ...

Among the things I already started are some Clojure open source contributions, game experiments and a few other things. However, I felt this is a good opportunity to put a collection of projects on my website. ...

I recently got not only interested in Clojure but also want to utilize it for some image analysis now. OpenCV is a very solid package for image and video analysis. Java bindings have been released for OpenCV at the beginning of 2013. Unfortunately it wasn’t as easy as I expected in the first place to use it from Clojure. I would like to show you how to do it. Here is an outline of the necessary steps: ...
