review 1: Great pacing. I like the order in which information was presented. The author wet your appetite with some introductory programming material. Then, he proceeded with covering the high level topics such as functional programming, homoiconicity, software transactional memory, and persistent data structures.The author certainly advocates for idiomatic Clojure without getting evangelical about it. He is able to cover special forms, syntactic sugar, macros, object orientation, multi-threading, and lazy evaluation in a way where you don't feel like you need to jump around a lot in the book.He finishes up with some practical advise on database access, connection pooling, web service development, build and release capability, and deploying to the cloud.A really good introduction to... more all relevant aspects to this modern version of the Lisp programming language.
review 2: An excellent read about Clojure programming language, covers a lot of areas and some times in an enjoyable depth.Data structure chapter was amazing, you are going to learn a lot. Data structures are at the very heart of Clojure professional programming.Macros chapter isn't impressive, I was expecting a much more from the hall-of-famers authors.Build tools section was somehow, I don't know, boring and shouldn't takes a lot of pages. But maybe it written this way for non-Java programmers how are reading the book. less
