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.

What is Compojure?


Compojure is a small, simple library that allows us to create specific request handlers for specific URLs and HTTP methods. In other words, "HTTP Method A requesting URL B will execute Clojure function C". By allowing us to do this, we can create our application in a sane way (URL-driven), and thus architect our code in some meaningful way.

Note

For the studious among us, the Compojure docs can be found at https://github.com/weavejester/compojure/wiki.
