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.

Your task, if you choose to accept it (you should, it's super rad), is to create a second page. This page will be an artist's discography page. It will show all the albums by the artist that the user clicked. To accomplish this task you must perform the following steps:

  1. Create the route to serve the artist page.

  2. Create the YeSQL script to select all the albums for a given artist by name.

  3. Create the template to render the list of albums for a given artist.

For example, clicking the Fort Knox Harrington link should produce the following:

Tip

In order to complete this task, you must use Compojure's parameter destructuring – See Chapter 4, URL Routing and Template Rendering, specifically the section on – surprise! – Parameter destructuring...
