Overview of this book

This book is for anyone who's worked with Clojure and wants to use it to start developing applications for the Web. Experience or familiarity with basic Clojure syntax is a must, and exposure to Leiningen (or other similar build tools such as Maven) would be helpful.

What is Compojure?

Compojure is a small, simple library that allows us to create specific request handlers for specific URLs and HTTP methods. In other words, "HTTP Method A requesting URL B will execute Clojure function C". By allowing us to do this, we can create our application in a sane way (URL-driven), and thus architect our code in some meaningful way.

Note

For the studious among us, the Compojure docs can be found at https://github.com/weavejester/compojure/wiki.
