Re: Clojure Books
I'm currently reading Joy of Clojure and I definitely like it. What do folks think about Let Over Lambda by Doug Hoyte? I realize that it focuses on Lisp, but will it have any useful information for Clojure programmers?

Re: Clojure Books
Let Over Lambda is more a collection of advanced and narrow tricks that a experienced Lisper would find interesting (and maybe useful). It assumes you know the good practices already, and then proceeds to break them for awe and effect. I would not suggest it to a newcomer. -Patrick On Jul 19, 9:19 am, Foge kevin.seraf...@gmail.com wrote: I'm currently reading Joy of Clojure and I definitely like it.

Re: Clojure Books
Depending on what you want to know about lisp I would recommend: Learning lisp: Practical Common Lisp This is an excellent text for people who are Java programmers. Really learning lisp: Let Over Lambda This will give you ways to think about Lambda as the fundamental mechanism. Let is just Lambda binding. Let over Lambda gives shared local variable scope. Lambda over Let over Lambda gives objects, etc. Really, really learning lisp: Lisp In Small Pieces This literate document walks you through the real internals of a lisp system using the actual executable code of the interpreter and compiler. The beauty of this book is that you can read the source code like a novel. Learning Clojure: Clojure in Small Pieces Ok, this is my attempt to mimic Lisp In Small Pieces for Clojure. It would be great if people would contribute chapters for understanding the internals of Clojure. We would then have a book that could be read like a novel which would allow people to fully understand Clojure. The CISP book includes a complete Clojure source code distribution. By following the instructions you can automatically generate a running Clojure REPL and a PDF containing the explanation (such as it is so far). http://daly.literatesoftware.com/clojure.pdf (pdf doc) http://daly.literatesoftware.com/clojure.pamphlet (pdf source) Tim Daly On Tue, 2011-07-19 at 08:28 -0700, CuppoJava wrote: Let Over Lambda is more a collection of advanced and narrow tricks that a experienced Lisper would find interesting (and maybe useful).

Aw: Re: Clojure Books
- Practical Clojure (APress) is an excellent reference book. I use it all the time + the clojure cheat sheet. - Programming Clojure is good to start with, but I really didn't like all the Lancet stuff that was included as example. - Joy of clojure: Great. But not easy (was my third book). -Finn -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.

Re: Clojure Books
Hi, I find that the 'best' instruction book is the one that most closely meets the learner's current mind-set, preparedness (do you find the author making assumptions you know nothing about?), match between the practice problems you'd like to do and what the book provides, etc. Right now I'm learning from Practical Clojure; maybe later I will find the Joy of Clojure at the right level. I also consult Programming Clojure. Next, either Clojure in Action or the new Oreilly book. I'm in a self-directed total immersion program to learn Clojure, and surrounding myself with these materials is my knee-jerk reaction, since I can't afford the mentor-programming approach. Good luck!
