Project Setup: Lesson 3: Libraries & Namespaces #

Warning: Work in Progress
We are still working to improve this page before releasing it to students. It may change considerably before first release.

Namespaces #

Explain what a namespace is

Explain dot notation and what it means with the slashes etc. i.e. (jaxank.ExtensionLibs.JaxExtension/maplet …)

Internal Libraries #

These are essentially just the files in your project, but they are not really different than a full library that is external.

Should be thinking about everything in your project as functions and how to use them later. So not a horrible idea to literally refer to them as libraries from the get go. That or change this heading name.

External Libraries #

Introduce ideas related to getting open source libraries from other people

Link appendix on what open source is and what it means

Sites

• Clojure Toolbox
• Clojars -…

How to Load External Libraries #

Configuration files and how to change

Notice how they are automatically downloaded

How these are typically versioned

Deps Updater Tool #

We have a deps updater tool in our template. This is so that we can update the templates when you ask us questions.

Our template has a file in it that will let you easily update all the libraries for a project.

When we tell you to run the bat file for updating dependencies
