Key benefits

  • Master the tools and patterns of the Clojure and ClojureScript ecosystems
  • Learn the fundamentals of functional programming and immutability
  • Apply your skills practically by developing a range of scalable applications

Description

The Clojure Workshop is a step-by-step guide to Clojure and ClojureScript, designed to quickly get you up and running as a confident, knowledgeable developer. Because of the functional nature of the language, Clojure programming is quite different to what many developers will have experienced. As hosted languages, Clojure and ClojureScript can also be daunting for newcomers because of complexities in the tooling and the challenge of interacting with the host platforms. To help you overcome these barriers, this book adopts a practical approach. Every chapter is centered around building something. As you progress through the book, you will progressively develop the 'muscle memory' that will make you a productive Clojure programmer, and help you see the world through the concepts of functional programming. You will also gain familiarity with common idioms and patterns, as well as exposure to some of the most widely used libraries. Unlike many Clojure books, this Workshop will include significant coverage of both Clojure and ClojureScript. This makes it useful no matter your goal or preferred platform, and provides a fresh perspective on the hosted nature of the language. By the end of this book, you'll have the knowledge, skills and confidence to creatively tackle your own ambitious projects with Clojure and ClojureScript.

Who is this book for?

The Clojure Workshop is for anyone who is curious about functional programming and wants to get started learning Clojure or ClojureScript. Prior experience of another programming language, such as Java or JavaScript, is recommended, and will help you grasp the concepts covered in this book more easily.

What you will learn

  • Write idiomatic code with Clojure and ClojureScript
  • Understand and use common patterns and best practices
  • Experiment with code and interact with programs using the REPL
  • Learn the fundamentals of functional programming and immutability
  • Master concepts including mapping, filtering, reducing and recursion
  • Structure and build your code using namespaces and Leiningen
  • Write unit tests to validate application behavior
  • Simplify your code and improve efficiency with macros

I've just started using it and have already learned that defn is a macro that combines def with fn (I was wondering why reading other books but this showed it right away with the examples). And that a function's argument list is really just a vector being used and not just some function-specific syntax. Which makes sense but they spelled it out nicely. All of the examples are great practice too.The many examples that walk you thru the code are great - 700 pages' worth. This is a great way to learn the basics of the language with many different exercises. After this, I plan to pick up one of the intermediate level books.

Exemples and exercices are clear and concise, the tone is light but serious and the authors hold your hands concepts after concepts until you are able to write your own programs. Once you finish this book you can actually code Clojure programs and understand most other more theoretical books about Clojure/FP. Clojure is definitely for experienced programmers but this book makes it approachable.

It is one thing to write a book that explains the important concepts well and quite another to create a book that explains well AND ALSO gives the reader well-designed tasks that allow the reader to test their understanding and to solidify and deepen their understanding. The authors have done a superlative job of both of these aspects. The "Exercises" (guided labs that lead the learner through important concepts) and the "Activities" that challenge the learner to use the skills they earned) are all well-designed.Most of us can learn only by immersing ourselves in the subject matter, but most books (even good ones) do not provide enough opportunities for that to happen and the net effect that that many readers are unable to progress from understanding the ideas into the practical realm. I found this book to be outstanding in this regard.Despite its intent to teach the topic from scratch and in depth -- which can be conflicting objectives, the book is thorough and successful in it goals. It takes the reader all the way to topics like testing, web applications, Clojurescript and Reagent.Although I have not finished the book yet, I believe that I will be ready to take on real projects right after I finish this book.Congratulations and many thanks to the authors and the publisher.
