Getting Clojure: Build Your Functional Skills One Idea at a Time by Russ Olsen (

Description: Getting Clojure by Russ Olsen To really get Clojure you need to understand the ideas underlying this structure of framework and features. You need this book: an accessible introduction to Clojure that focuses on the ideas behind the language as well as the practical details of writing code. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Behind every programming language lies a vision of how programs should be built. The vision behind Clojure is of a radically simple language framework holding together a sophisticated collection of programming features. Learning Clojure involves much more than just learning the mechanics of the language. To really get Clojure you need to understand the ideas underlying this structure of framework and features. You need this book: an accessible introduction to Clojure that focuses on the ideas behind the language as well as the practical details of writing code. Clojure attracts developers on the cutting edge and is arguably the best language for learning to program in the functional style without compromise. But this comes with a steep learning curve. Getting Clojure directly addresses this by teaching you how to think functionally as it teaches you the language. Youll learn about Clojures powerful data structures and high-level functions, but youll also learn what it means for a language to be functional, and how to think in Clojures functional way. Each chapter of Getting Clojure takes a feature or two or three from the language, explains the syntax and the mechanics behind that feature so that you can make it work before digging into the deeper questions: What is the thinking behind the feature? And how does it fit in with the rest of the language? In Getting Clojure youll learn Clojures very simple syntax, but youll also learn why that syntax is integral the way the language is constructed. Youll discover that most data structures in Clojure are immutable, but also why that leads to more reliable programs. And youll see how easy it is to write Clojure functions and also how you can use those functions to build complex and capable systems. With real-world examples of how working Clojure programmers use the language, Getting Clojure will help you see the challenges of programming through the eye of experienced Clojure developers. What You Need: You will need to some background in programming. To follow along with the examples in the book, you will need Java 6 or new, Clojure 1.8 or 1.9, and Leiningen 2." Author Biography Russ Olsen has been building software for the last 35 years, everything from engineering document management to database query engines. Russ has been on a career long quest to find a better programming language and was an early adopter of Python, Java, Ruby and Clojure.
