learning to think a better way

2014-06-17 Thread douglas smith
Hey all,

I am taking entry level classes with Udacity now but I would much prefer to 
be learning to think the 'clojure' way.

With interest and support from (insert company with IT needs) and the 
clojure community we could/should implement a training program along 
similar lines.

Thoughts?

Doug

Re: Is it the right Clojure group for a newbie

Sounds like we are in a similar position. 

Maybe we could start a study group of sorts. -not sure how?

We could post back to this thread for now and see what happens.

Someone have a better suggestion?

Doug

 All,
If this is the right Clojure group for a newbie, I would like to ask 
 for the best online resources to begin with. I am new to programming, 
 having recently switched from a non technical field.
 I have started looking at http://www.braveclojure.com/, but any pointers 
 would be useful, especially cookbook styled ones.

Re: What's clojure killer app? I don't see any.

 Jony, Hey thanks 

 Just finish watching and reading about Gorilla-Repl (will be digging 
 deeper) and WOW really clean and simple UI -Nice. 
 Much Much easier to install than IPython notebook was and its Clojure!
 Couldn't follow much of your coding as I said I am just starting out.
 I like the keystrokes and no buttons - I do need to remap chrome-browser 
 ctrl-g to something else -don't use it anyway.
 I like how you can show the underling 'value' of things.

 Couldn't this type of application run remotely and potentially provide a 
 'live work space' for dislocated groups of students?
 Maybe a keystroke that toggles screen control.  
 - a 'kitchen table coders' thing but virtual.
  -just a thought.

 I really am convinced that clojure is a great first language to learn- 
  and I'm determined to learn it.

 Thanks -Doug

 Hope you'll excuse a shameless plug, but have you seen Gorilla REPL (
 http://gorilla-repl.org) ? It may or may not have some of the things 
 you're looking for :-)
