Clojure Programming Cookbook

Clojure Programming Cookbook

Overview of this book

When it comes to learning and using a new language you need an effective guide to be by your side when things get rough. For Clojure developers, these recipes have everything you need to take on everything this language offers. This book is divided into three high impact sections. The first section gives you an introduction to live programming and best practices. We show you how to interact with your connections by manipulating, transforming, and merging collections. You’ll learn how to work with macros, protocols, multi-methods, and transducers. We’ll also teach you how to work with languages such as Java, and Scala. The next section deals with intermediate-level content and enhances your Clojure skills, here we’ll teach you concurrency programming with Clojure for high performance. We will provide you with advanced best practices, tips on Clojure programming, and show you how to work with Clojure while developing applications. In the final section you will learn how to test, deploy and analyze websocket behavior when your app is deployed in the cloud. Finally, we will take you through DevOps. Developing with Clojure has never been easier with these recipes by your side!

Using MQTT

As they say these days, the Internet of things (IoT) is bringing up a third industrial revolution. Devices will be talking to each other more and more to share information, real time, and the need for a low power, secure protocol to connect those devices together is greater than ever.

What is MQTT? It is an OASIS-approved standard, machine-to-machine super lightweight transport protocol for publishing and subscribing activities.

MQTT client are always connected to what is called an MQTT broker, never to each other.

The MQTT protocol itself is based on top of TCP/IP, and both the MQTT client and the MQTT broker require a TCP/IP stack.

MQTT has been designed specifically for IoT and is well suited for a wide range of scenarios such as:

Ad hoc social networking
Hospitals in need of immediate analysis on real-time data collected from patients going through
Environmental monitoring through the use of sensors in remote and rural areas such as seaside or mountains
Internal monitoring of cars...
