Programming Clojure (The Pragmatic Programmers)

Best introduction to Clojure for experienced programmers. The material is very well organized, and the pace perfect for someone who already knows programming but is brand new to Clojure and lisps.

Clojure handles many problems that other languages leave up to the programmer. This book introduces the benefits, how to solve problems in a idiomatic way, and has plenty of examples which demonstrate how concise the resulting code can be. Would definitely recommend!

I received an advance copy of the third edition of Programming Clojure for review. I found it an excellent resource for new and old Clojure programmers. Alex Miller provides a thorough account of the language's rationale and features, including approachable explanations of more recent features like transducers and Clojure Spec. This is exciting not only because it is an up-to-date reference, but because it encourages newer Clojure programmers to delve into the depths of the language.

There are plenty of typo and mistakes. Some topics are not covered at all. Some code examples descriptions is too brief to cover the topic. Tried to communicate with authors and publishers to clarify and/or point on some parts (code examples) that could be better - with no result. It seems that they just making their money.

Eu diria que esse é o primeiro livro que você deve ler se quiser aprender a linguagem clojure do zero. Bons exemplos, tradução boa e clareza nas explicações.

I am using this book to learn Clojure aka Lisp running on JVM

Must read for Clojure programmers

I'm half way through the book. The book has saved me a lot of time by explaining the essence of most important Clojure topics in a compact and professional friendly way. It has a progressive tone. It starts by simple and practical samples and quickly and smoothly builds on top of them using more advanced techniques. The authors have done a great job packing a lot of information in a rather small book. I'll definitely recommend this book to anyone learning Clojure.

- Excellent book if you have some Clojure experience- too fast for beginners- good detailed descriptions of lazy sequences, sequences and collections and just about all of clojure's fundamental concepts
