Clojure Tutorial for Clojure Newbies
From the webpage:
If, like so many other developers, you suffer from a mild addition to Hacker News, then you’ve surely run across a reference to the Clojure language (pronounced “closure”) more than once while perusing the latest headlines. A Lisp dialect targeting the JVM runtime, Clojure users stand to gain from the portability and stability of the JVM, the rich syntax of a functional language, and the ability to integrate with the enormous Java ecosystem. These advantages have clearly resonated with the programming community, as a swarm of activity has amassed around the language in the four years since its inception.
If you’ve been wondering what all the buzz is about, this article offers a practical, hands-on overview to Clojure, covering the installation process, basic syntax, and potential for Web development.
This isn’t really a tutorial in the sense that you get very far but it does have a good list of resources on page 2.
Looking for something better to recommend, I got the following search results:
- clojure tutorial – 468,000 “hits”
- “clojure tutorial” – 2,040 “hits”
The third “hit” on the last query was Clojure Tutorials at Learn Clojure.
Maybe I should do something more systematic on the power of parentheses. What do you think?
