I'm looking forward to reading it.  The printed version is half-way here,
and I already have the e-book!

The publisher's blurb on Amazon says,

You'll start off by learning the details of sequences, concurrency 
primitives, and macros. Packed with a lot of examples, you'll get a 
walkthrough on orchestrating concurrency and parallelism, which will help 
you understand Clojure reducers, and we'll walk through composing 
transducers so you know about functional composition and process 
transformation inside out.

2016-04-03 Thread Timothy Baldridge 
gvim, aside from the rather poor taste of critiquing a book's pricing in
the second reply to the announcement of that book. Perhaps also consider
that one book is named "Mastering", while the other is a introduction to
web programming. I have not read either of these books, but shouldn't we
prefer to evaluate the monetary worth of a work based on the content and
the amount of time it took to produce?

Congratulations, Akhil.

To anyone intending to publish, please think twice before going with 
Packt as their pricing is ridiculous. Compare "Mastering Clojure" with 
"Web Development with Clojure" (Pragmatic Bookshelf):


"Mastering Clojure" - 266 pages / 42.82 Euros = $48.81
"Web Development with Clojure" - 250 pages / $24 = 21.05 Euros

O'Reilly and Prag Prog books are also better produced, IMHO, with less 
of the sidebar padding you find in Packt books.

Congratulations! - I know how much effort goes into this sort of
thing. I look forward to reading a copy at some point.

[ANN] [book] Mastering Clojure published!

2016-04-02 Thread Akhil Wali 
I'm pleased to announce that Mastering Clojure has been published.
This book is a fast paced exploration of the more advanced features of the 
Clojure language.
It also demonstrates a handful of interesting libraries, such as 
core.async, pulsar, core.logic and cats.

http://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Clojure-Akhil-Wali/dp/1785889745/

It's been almost a year since I've started working on this book. 
A big thanks to everyone involved!
