PragProg Clojure magazine
PragPub, the free monthly electronic magazine for software
developers from The Pragmatic Programmers, will be publishing a
special Clojure issue in July, and we're looking for articles.
I'm committed to sourcing at least one article in that issue
from one of the many active Clojure user groups around the
world. I've been a believer in developer user groups since the
1980s when I was editing Dr. Dobb's Journal, inspired by Dennis
Allison's image of a community of developers standing on each
other's shoulders, and I know there are some great ideas out
there.
So we *will* publish at least one article from a Clojure user
group, and when we do, we will prominently acknowledge the user
group as well as the author.
I'm speaking now to every member of this group. Write me an
article. Write it in whatever format works for you, let the
content dictate the length, and for guidance on style, you
can't do better than to look at any of the articles we've
published in the past two years: http://pragprog.com/magazines.
A few of them have even been about Clojure.
As for the technical level, assume the reader is an experience
programmer but isn't experienced with Clojure. Your article
will probably, in one way or another, answer the question, why
Clojure? It might be a Clojure success story (with a technical
explanation of why Clojure was instrumental to the success), or
a particular aspect of Clojure that you find interesting (with
code showing how it can be used to good effect), or advice on
thinking in Clojure. You probably have a better idea than any
of these.
I really want to see your idea. Just send it to my email
address: michael@pragprog.com. But time is critical. The
deadline for articles is only about a month away: June 22. I
eagerly await your brilliance.
