The blog post gives you a short introduction into the session management of Compojure.

I really enjoy giving talks. This is particularly because I like to teach people something and because I’m really enthusiastic about the technical things I talk about. Once of these things are obviously decentralized version control system, in particular Git and Mercurial. Finally after two years of submitting talks to various conferences, people and conferences [...]

Scala is a fascinating language. Running on the Java VM, Scala offers a powerful mixture from both the imperative Java world and functional programming including modern techniques like Actors. Personally I prefer to not just learn programming languages, but also try them out while reading through the book.

Using a decentralized version control system (DVCS) like Mercurial (hg) or Git as a client for Subversion is very common. With the unique features of a DVCS a developer can have both the features of offline development and local branching while still being able to push to a subversion server. This approach is often used [...]

For those of you, who didn’t notice so far, in the last 6 month we worked on a more userfriendly and accessible page than the current mercurial website. Three weeks ago we launched hg-scm.org which is quite similar to git-scm.org. I hope you enjoy it

I think most of the people using PHP wonder from time to time about particular behavior of the language. That’s pretty much the same case with every language. Pythoneers have their wtf moments, Ruby programmers have their wtf moments and C programmers tend to live in a whole wtf universe. But lately I stumbled over [...]

Interacting between git and subversion is quite common. The git command git-svn can be used to import existing subversion repositories into git and commit synchronize commits between two repositories. While importing a subversion repository into git is comming, importing an git repository into subversion is quite unusual. There are various tools to do so, but [...]
