Speaking
Eric Normand is a sought-after speaker who has spoken at conferences around the US and the world. He is also a frequent guest on podcasts.
Eric prepares his conference talks well in advance and rehearses 10-20 times. Compared to the typical programming conference talk, his talks are extremely polished. He also markets his upcoming talks on social media, and invests himself in the success of the conference.
Eric can speak on the topics of Functional Programming, Clojure and ClojureScript, Property-based Testing, and Concurrent Programming.

Testing Stateful and Concurrent Systems Using test.check [TALK]
Generative testing is great for testing pure functions, but it is also used to test the behavior of stateful systems that change over time. Those systems are often designed for highly concurrent usage, such as queues, databases, and storage. And then sometimes your code is also asynchronous, such as in JavaScript. Learn several patterns to […]
ClojureScript: I can’t believe this is JavaScript
There are 6 difficult problems frameworks and libraries try to solve in JavaScript, but never quite get there. Learn how these problems (and more!) are solved by ClojureScript and how it can provide a platform for new solutions.

Building composable abstractions [TALK]
Do you want to create robust and composable abstractions? Conal Elliott’s Denotational Design is an iterative process to define the essence of a domain and build in composability. The resulting abstractions lead to more robust code at the core of your application and can give your business a competitive advantage. This is the process that […]
