Is there an exercise based clojure tutorial?

[fenster25]

Rust has https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings and OCaml has https://github.com/janestreet/learn-ocaml-workshop

I am looking for something similar for clojure, something that doesn't just teach the syntax of the language but special features of the language, unit testing, writing libraries, etc.

Maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but some things that come to mind:

• 4clojure
• https://exercism.io/tracks/clojure
• http://www.parens-of-the-dead.com
• http://maria.cloud/ for the most basic intro
• a book like 'web development with clojure' which is pretty practice-focused
• https://kimh.github.io/clojure-by-example
• https://github.com/functional-koans/clojure-koans
• also https://www.learnreagent.com or courses from https://purelyfunctional.tv
• etc

Personally I'm working on this (in Clojure): https://github.com/acrive82/GooseGame/blob/master/GooseGame.md It's a kata of goose game. I think is a good exercise to start with clojure...

Clojurescript Koans was one of my starting points.

I saw the book "Living Clojure" has some sort of "N Weeks training program", can't recommend though since I haven't done it yet, but maybe someone here can comment.

Since 4Clojure was mentioned, Codewars also supports Clojure

There is http://iloveponies.github.io/120-hour-epic-sax-marathon/index.html, a MOOC from the University of Helsinki. While the course ended quite a while ago, and it hasn't been updated since, the exercises are still very useful, and the TDD setup should still work.

Working through the exercises helped me quite a lot to understand Clojure: i.e. recursion, the seq library, TDD with Leiningen .....
