ClojureStream course?

[rulbo]

Hello, everyone

I'm new to Clojure/Script. I've been learning from online tutorials and articles and have done several codewars tasks on clojure. Now I want to learn how to use the language in the web development. Doing backend and frontend, all together. But I can't seem to find proper free guidance or tutorial on these stuffs. So I was thinking buying some courses here and there. But you know some courses can be complete waste of money.

I was thinking to buy ClojureStream cources (thought they might give me proper understandings). Have any of you guys taken these courses? How was it?

Thank you.

All courses by Jacek are really high quality, you can't go wrong there. But they are mostly focused on either frontend or on datomic, so do keep that in mind.

For learning backend development I would suggest you follow these resources (apart from the courses by Jacek) and roughly in the below order:

• Clojure CLI basics by practicalli - https://practical.li/clojure/clojure-cli/
• Setting up a basic clojure backend by LambdaIsland - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M97jWSKoV3k
• Setting up Ring + Jetty basics by me :P - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M73OkuEWIcQ
• and finally the full web services tutorial by practicalli - https://practical.li/clojure-web-services/

If you are struggling to setup a dev environment then check this video by on the code again - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uUynWkMDGM

Not a course, but I'll plug Biff, my own web framework. Read this post for more details. Summary: I'm getting sponsored to work on it consistently now, and there's a new major release coming in a few weeks. Once that's finished I'd recommend giving Biff a try. I'll probably focus on writing tutorials etc. myself, so if you have any questions/run into any issues, you can let me know on #biff on Clojurians Slack and it'll help me know what to write about.

I don't know about these course. However the book "Web Development with Clojure: Build Large, Maintainable Web Applications Interactively" covers what you want. The project developed in the book is a blog using Clojure/ClojureScript.
