Riassunto:

If you're an experienced programmer who has not worked with Clojure before, this guide is the perfect thorough but gentle introduction for you. Author Carin Meier not only provides a practical overview of this JVM language and its functional programming concepts, but also includes a complete hands-on training course to help you learn Clojure in a structured way.

The first half of the book takes you through Clojure's unique design and lets you try your hand at two Clojure projects, including a web app. The holistic course in second half provides you with critical tools and resources, including ways to plug into the Clojure community.

• Understand the basic structure of a Clojure expression
• Learn how to shape and control code in a functional way
• Discover how Clojure handles real-world state and concurrency
• Take advantage of Java classes and learn how Clojure handles polymorphism
• Manage and use libraries in a Clojure project
• Use the core.async library for asynchronous and concurrent communication
• Explore the power of macros in Clojure programming
• Learn how to think in Clojure by following the book's seven-week training course
