Programming Clojure, Fourth Edition

Programming Clojure is an inspiration of Clojure knowledge and has furthered my understanding of the nuances of Clojure. One of the new sections includes a step-by-step on building an application that made me want to drop everything and code along.

If you are interested in learning the ins and outs of the Clojure language, Programming Clojure will provide you with a valuable resource. The book not only covers the basics of the language, but also builds on the basics to allow readers to understand and apply more advanced concepts like spec and macros.

This book is very effective at teaching Clojure’s unique take on functional programming and data manipulation. It explains concepts clearly and covers the mechanics of nearly every part of the language, with helpful commentary that goes beyond the code.
