The second beta of "Clojure Applied" is now available. This version adds 
Chapter 8 (Clojure Testing) as well as a foreword by Russ Olsen, and fixes 
for many of the reported errata.

https://pragprog.com/book/vmclojeco/clojure-applied

If you've already bought the book, you should get an email to download the 
new version.

Yes, you should be notified when it's updated. Also, if you visit the 
Pragmatic web site and log in, they will notify you if any books on your 
bookshelf have been updated.

We will probably have another update next week with chapter 8 and any 
errata fixes since the first release.

I have bought books while in beta version from Pragmatic Programmers
before, and they always sent me email whenever the book had an update to
its content (I ordered the book on their web site, so they had my contact

 There was a bug around this that I had fixed at one point, perhaps I
 didn't get that change applied. BTW, for future "bugs" on the book, it's
 best to file them here so we can track them: https://pragprog.com/

 There seems to be a small error in the Value Based Dispatch section on 
 page 8, where the comments don't match the code. oz and lb seem to be 
 flipped!

The errata form is for technical errors, typos, and suggestions.

If you have broader questions or items for discussion, there is also a 
forum available:

Probably better to use either of those than this group.

Alex, I'm on page 9 of the book and if I stopped reading now I think it would 
have been worth the purchase price. That's a pretty spectacular value and I'm 
really looking forward to the rest of it. Thanks to you and Ben for writing 
something like this!

Re: [ANN] Clojure Applied: From Practice to Practitioner

2015-04-09 Thread Alex Miller 
I have bought and read most of them and they are all fine choices - I would 
not steer you away from any of them. :) 

I started with "Programming Clojure" (Pragmatic) by Halloway and Bedra, but 
then that's all there was at that point! I also really like both "Clojure 
Programming" by Emerick, Carper, and Grand (O'Reilly) and "Practical 
Clojure" by VanderHart and Sierra (although that one hasn't been updated in 
a while). "Clojure for the Brave and True" by Higginbotham is a lot of fun 
- it's both online and coming in print from No Starch. I haven't had a 
chance to read Carin Meier's new "Living Clojure" but that also promises to 
be great. And then Kyle Kingsbury's online series is great - 
https://aphyr.com/posts/301-clojure-from-the-ground-up-welcome. 

It's not mentioned as much, but Brian Marick's leanpub book "FP for the OO 
programmer" has fantastic exercises, one of the best intros to monads that 
I've seen, and some other interesting stuff - probably best read *with* 
another intro book, I think. 

The "Clojure Cookbook" and "Clojure in Action" are both useful as you are 
start to do more practical stuff. 

For you, "Joy of Clojure" is probably a good 2nd or 3rd book, but others 
will find it useful if they have more Lisp or FP background to start from.

And then, I'd recommend 4clojure.com as a great place to practice.

IMO "Clojure Programming" is the best intro book (although it's a bit
outdated). "Clojure for the Brave and the True" is great as well, but it's
not yet completely finished (ETA June).

So I'll use a different, more appropriate metric - AIDKT's (Ah, I didn't know

I'm not sure what unit of "page" you're seeing on your device, but there 
are ~160 PDF pages in the beta and we expect to add maybe 60 more pages 
before completion. Pragmatic adheres to a fairly regular beta schedule of a 
new chapter every 2-3 weeks, so all content should be available within a 
couple months. Thanks for reading!

I've been waiting for this since the Conj, and so far it has been worth the 
wait.

One thing that impressed me right off the bat was the amount of content - 300 
pages in this beta version.  A pleasant surprise considering the recent trend 
of "early access" books that only have 2-3 chapters completed (and often times 
just the introductory info at that).

[ANN] Clojure Applied: From Practice to Practitioner

2015-04-08 Thread Alex Miller 
Hey all,

I'm very happy to announce that Clojure Applied is now available in beta:

https://pragprog.com/book/vmclojeco/clojure-applied

I've been working on this with Ben Vandgrift for a long time, hoping to
fill the underserved niche of *intermediate* Clojure material. Our goal is
to step in after you've read any of the fine introductory books and provide
the next level of guidance needed to successfully apply Clojure to real
problems.

The chapters are:

1. Model Your Domain - an overview of modeling domain entities, modeling
relationships, validating them, and creating domain operations.
2. Collect And Organize Your Data - choosing the right collection, updating
collections, accessing collections, and building custom collections.
3. Processing Sequential Data - using sequence functions and transducers to
transform your data.
4. State, Identity, and Change - modeling change and state with Clojure's
state constructs.
5. Use Your Cores - waiting in the background, queues and workers,
parallelism with reducers, and thinking in processes with core.async.
6. Creating Components - organizing your code with namespaces, designing
component APIs, connecting components with core.async channels, and
implementing components with state.
7. Compose Your Application - assembling components, configuration, and
entry points.
8. Testing Clojure - example- and property-based testing with clojure.test,
expectations, and test.check.
9. Playing With Others - details TBD
10. Getting Out The Door - publishing your code and deploying your
application.

Chapters 1-6 and 10 are available now in beta form. We expect to release a
new chapter every 2-3 weeks until completion. The printed book should be
available this fall.

Alex
