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!

Preface

Clojure on Amazon Web Services


This recipe is a standalone dish where you can learn how to combine the elegance of Clojure with Amazon Web Services (AWS).

AWS was started in 2006 and is used by many businesses as easy to use web services. This style of serverless service is becoming more and more popular. You can use computer resources and software services on demand, without the need to prepare hardware or install software by yourself.

You will mostly make use of the amazonica library, which is a comprehensive Clojure client for the entire Amazon AWS set of APIs. This library wraps the Amazon AWS APIs and supports most AWS services including EC2, S3, Lambda, Kinesis, Elastic Beanstalk, Elastic MapReduce, and RedShift.

This recipe has received a lot of its content and love from Robin Birtle, a leading member of the Clojure Community in Japan.

Getting ready

You need an AWS account and credentials to use AWS, so this recipe starts by showing you how to do the setup and acquire the necessary keys...
