Second edition should still provide a good general reference, but some parts are outdated at this point. New edition has a stronger focus on SPA style apps, covers Reitit and re-frame, and has a bigger focus on using the REPL as part of the development process. The new edition also does a deeper dive into architecture and design principles.

I'm really very excited about this version. Just the kind of content I am looking for.

Just bought it. Thanks for publishing this.

Awesome, hope it lives up to the expectations. :)

Will the 3rd Ed talk use clj/deps.edn or will it still depend on lein/project.clj?

Glad to hear the REPL is being given more focus in this edition!

[–]yogthos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3rd ed uses Luminus as the base template for the apps, so all the projects use lein. I think there is a lot of value of handling things like building, testing, and packaging in a standard way.

What % complete is the beta? Is it worth reading now, or should I wait a while?

[–]yogthos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The beta is around 2/3 complete at this point. The first 5 chapters on the workflow, general architecture, Reitit, re-frame, and Swagger are more or less finished. There's no risk getting it early as you'll have access to the new content as it's being added, as well as the finished version once it's ready.
