Above the clouds with Android

Эта статья , как мне показалось, заслуживает нашего внимания :)

Summary: The open source Android operating system has taken the world by storm, allowing sophisticated cloud computing applications to run wherever you are. Designed to be highly efficient on battery-powered devices like the T-Mobile G1 smartphone, at heart, Android is Linux®, and there are several layers to the Android programming model that permit the creation of secure applications tailor-made for cloud computing. Soar to new heights with Android and experience mobile computing as you've never experienced it before.

JAOO: The Clojure Concurrency Story

Слайды с презентации Rich Hickey "The Clojure Concurrency Story" на JAOO Conference:
http://jaoo.dk/aarhus-2009/file?path=/jaoo-aarhus-2009/slides/RichHickey_TheClojureConcurrencyStory.pdf

Abstract:

All functional programming languages emphasize working with immutable data as much as possible. How can that be efficient, and what benefits does it bring? And what happens when you need state, to manage changing values over time? One method is to use mutable references with concurrency semantics, such as transactions, coupled with persistent data structures. This combination makes for easy, lock-free designs, well within the comfort zone of those used to imperative programming.

This talk discusses how immutability, state and identity are handled in the Clojure language. You'll learn details about Clojure's managed references, agents and STM.

Target audience: Developers interested in alternative approaches to concurrency.
