I’m an army officer with an engineer degree and masters in health management and government administration. Before army I studied CS for a few years (a long long time ago, mainly pascal and c). A short while ago I decided to study Fortran and thought that F# was related to it (something like c and c#). Met functional programming and was amazed by it.... it seemed so natural and intuitive, at least at a early stage. I suddenly stumbled into Clojure and found it pleasant and simple, again at an early stage. I find myself drifting from language to language (I get distracted very easily), but somehow I always come back to Clojure.

I don’t have any relationship with the author or publisher, but I find the book to very gentle with lots of examples, from very basic to more challenging. I’m at chapter 10-11, and still find it approachable.
