Some resources, in case they help: 1. http://clojuredocs.org/ has documentation for core and contrib, and often has examples
<http://clojuredocs.org/>2. http://clojure.org has a lot of reading material about the language, including a nice cheat sheet ( http://clojure.org/cheatsheet) 3. http://www.clojureatlas.com offers a unique way to navigate between the pieces of the clojure language 4. if you are at a REPL, you can use the doc macro to read function doc strings: user> (doc map) ------------------------- clojure.core/map ([f coll] [f c1 c2] [f c1 c2 c3] [f c1 c2 c3 & colls]) Returns a lazy sequence consisting of the result of applying f to the set of first items of each coll, followed by applying f to the set of second items in each coll, until any one of the colls is exhausted. Any remaining items in other colls are ignored. Function f should accept number-of-colls arguments. nil On Fri, Jun 17, 2011 at 9:13 AM, octopusgrabbus <octopusgrab...@gmail.com>wrote: > Many thanks.
