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.

Exceptions and Errors in Clojure

In an ideal world, every program runs without any problems. In the real world, mistakes happen and programs do not run as planned. Errors and exceptions in Java and Clojure are a mechanism for informing developers when such unexpected situations occur.

An error indicates a serious problem that an application should not try to catch or handle. An exception indicates conditions that an application might want to catch. To put it another way, errors are situations from which an application cannot recover. Such conditions could be running out of disk space or memory. If an application runs out of disk space to save data, there is no possibility that this application can serve its purpose. Unless we provide more disk space, the application cannot run successfully. Exceptions are conditions from which an application can recover. Such a condition could be trying to access a list from a database before a connection to the database has been established,...
