October Amsterdam Clojure is the Dutch stage for functional geeks, lots of parenthesis and fun, all in a spicy LISP sauce! The 2012 edition was held at Backbase Headquarters in Amsterdam on Saturday October 27th.
The event is completely FREE for anyone to join. Unfortunately, space limitations requires us to ask you to sign up. The official registration form will be available on our Meetup page.
Be sure to book your seat or you'll seriously risk to miss the hottest Clojure event in the Netherlands!

I'm a mathematician using Clojure since early 2008. As an early adopter I became a clojure toolsmith working on the Vim integration – VimClojure – as well as the gradle plugin for Clojure – clojuresque. I try to help with common tooling like eg. nrepl.
Alex works for StyleFruits, a leading platform for mode in Germany, before that was developing software to manage payment terminals, gates in airport areas and business centers. With Clojure for about 1 year, but fell in love with it from the day one, and found ClojureWerkz together with Michael Klishin, a collection of Clojure libraries, each one of which just werkz. Also, writes boring bio blurbs for conferences.
