Ryan Baldwin

Ryan Baldwin is a theatre major turned computer science geek. Hailing from the prairies of Western Canada, Ryan has been developing software on a wide array of platforms and technologies since 2001. Once, he wrote a crazy system application that compiled XSD Schema Docs into XAML forms that performed two-way binding with underlying XML documents in .NET WPF. Why? Because it had to be done. Another time, he worked on a project that would mash multiple social networks together, allowing users to find out who they were indirectly "connected" to (something akin to 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon). It was eventually shelved. In 2012, he relocated to Toronto, where he works with the University Health Network, developing systems and tools that facilitate patient information exchange. You can often find him wearing headphones and jittering in coffee shops.

Serving the signup form


For now, we'll just use the existing src/hipstr/routes/home.clj file to house our route to the sign up form. Our sign up form will use the POST method to send the data to a different URL, so the route to the sign up form itself needs to be GET. Adjust hipstr.routes.home/home-routes to look like this:

(defroutes home-routes
  (GET "/" [] (home-page))
  (GET "/about" [] (about-page))
  (GET "/signup" [] "Hey there, welcome to the signup page!"))

Now when you save this and click the sign up button, we get a cute but completely useless salutation. So, let's get a little creative and create the actual sign up page.
