Overview of this book

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.

Introduction

Have you ever ended up entangled in the "spaghetti code" of an object-oriented application? Many experienced programmers would say yes, and at some point in their journey or career would reconsider the foundation of their programs. They might look for a simpler, better alternative to object-oriented programming, and Clojure is an appealing choice. It is a functional, concise, and elegant language of the Lisp family. Its core is small, and its syntax minimal. It shines because of its simplicity, which takes a trained eye to notice and ultimately understand. Employing Clojure's more sophisticated building blocks will allow you to design and build sturdier applications.

Whether you are a seasoned programmer or a novice, hobbyist or professional, C# wizard or Haskell ninja, learning a new programming language is challenging. It is, however, a highly rewarding experience that will make you an overall better programmer. In this book, you will learn by doing...
