2024-10-24 - Exploring new Workflows with Visual Tools (by Chris Badahdah)

The emergence of visual tools in the Clojure ecosystem has improved the community's ability to learn about and develop their systems. These tools have unlocked potential workflows that are still being explored, but not yet widely adopted.

Exploring and getting the most out of these tools requires collaboration and investment.

In this talk I share some issues with my previous workflows and how the the visual tool Portal has improved them. This will demonstrate what's possible, but also hopefully spark more exploration and collaboration.

2023-12-13 - Cooking up a workflow for data (by Slutsky, Prately & McLean)

What does a typical data analysis workflow look like? .. and what is needed to make such workflows simple & easy for any person with a data question?

In the talk, we will demonstrate some of the relevant workflows, libraries, and tools through a real-world data problem.

2023-10-24 - Portal Internals (by Chris Badahdah)

Portal is a Clojure data visualization and exploration tool aimed at enhancing interactive development. In this talk we will explore aspects of Portal's internals and how they enable various types of workflows for different users. After this talk, you should be better equipped to leverage Portal in your specific workflow.

2022-09-10 - :clojure U 2022: Code execution as data with omni-trace (by Lukas Domagala)

Our programs and their libraries are becoming more complex every day. Clojure is a great way to curb that complexity, but at some point, it still becomes difficult to reason about the flow of data through the application.

Omni-trace makes it possible to visualize that flow and ask questions about any calls that were made.

In this talk, you will learn how you can use omni-trace to see your code in action, integrate it into your dev routine, and explore unknown libraries. Afterward, you'll never want to start a normal debugger again.

2022-08-08 - JUXT Safari - Portal, Developing with Data with Chris Williams

JUXT holds a regular internal conference designed to increase knowledge share between our teams. This time, Chris Williams explains how to use Portal to develop with data in Clojure and gives us a live coding demo!

2021-11-23 - Thinking with Portal (by Chris Badahdah)

Chris Badahdah (https://djblue.github.io/) will be presenting a data inspection/visualization tool he's been working on over the past year, Portal (https://github.com/djblue/portal). He hopes it will provide users the ability to better understand and debug systems by making it easier to explore their data models.

2020-10-15 - Apropos 14

Demo of Portal by the author Chris Badahdah (https://github.com/djblue) with appropriate grillings and homework from the panel :)

It's a really great way to explore data that was previously inaccessible. It's in the same space as Reveal and the closed source REBL from the company formerly known as Cognitect.

It was streamed live on the Apropos discord server which is open to all.
