Clojure Programming: Practical Lisp for the Java World

Clojureis a practical, general-purpose language that offers expressivity rivalingother dynamic languages like Ruby and Python, while seamlessly taking advantageof Java libraries, services, and all of the resources of the JVM ecosystem.This book helps you learn the fundamentals of Clojure with examples relating itto the languages you know already, in the domains and topics you work withevery day. See how this JVM language can help eliminate unnecessary complexityfrom your programming practice and open up new options for solving the mostchallenging problems.

ClojureProgramming demonstrates the language’s flexibility by showing how it can beused for common tasks like web programming and working with databases, upthrough more demanding applications that require safe, effective concurrencyand parallelism, data analysis, and more. This in-depth look helps tie togetherthe full Clojure development experience, from how to organize your project andan introduction to Clojure build tooling, to a tutorial on how to make the mostof Clojure’s REPL during development, and how to deploy your finishedapplication in a cloud environment.
