After picking up Clojure in 2012, he left the frameworks and ORMs behind and started to build web apps from scratch, and has shipped to production using Clojure, Groovy, Node.JS, Elixir, and Kotlin. August has worked as a consultant for a decade and is now an independent contractor and startup founder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 326\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.73 x 10 x 7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 25, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42719903449151,"sku":"9781484290569","price":70.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/c3eb6d6a488cfb8b4892d02e73dfc3cc.webp?v=1765087282","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/pro-kotlin-web-apps-from-scratch-building-production-ready-web-apps-without-a-framework-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
