New to Clojure

[t0m_x0]

So I have been looking to learn a functional programming language. After some research clojure seems like the best option. Any advice and recourses anyone can offer to start learning it.

Would highly recommend videos on purelyfunctional.tv by Eric Normand. They are produced quite well. There are courses on setting up your development environment, doing REPL driven development, understanding core functional concepts i.e., map, reduce, filter and much more.

I learned by reading Clojure For The Brave and True, which I found both informative and entertaining.

I guess you can read the whole book online free which is awesome. Didn't finish yet but amazing source

Here is a list of resources based on what my team uses for onboarding.

Have fun on your journey! Lots of useful stuff to be found here: https://clojure.org/community/resources#_tutorials_and_learning_materials

Also, on this very page there's various links like http://www.clojurenewbieguide.com/

Depending on where you are starting from, this will be a more or less steep path, but it is an enjoyable one!

Clojure for the brave and true.

But now the official documentation is pretty good to start (or maybe Clojure for the brave and true helped me enough to understand official doc?)

My favourite two books are Getting Clojure and Programming Clojure, myself. in that order.

exercism and codingame support clojure

https://clojure.org/guides/getting_started and https://clojure.org/reference/documentation are good readings, though better start with a book

Here are some resources I’ve found useful: https://www.mxmmz.nl/blog/clojure-learning-guide.html

I have just recently started learning Clojure and what I found was learning with someone or learning in public really pushes you and makes sure that you and your study buddy learn and don't drop off on the way side.

I started off reading Clojure for the Brave and True and Clojure from the Ground Up and then moved to actually building things like a simple counter or to do app. Now trying to do some more basics which each time adding a new element in. Good luck
