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? Thanks, Kevin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

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,

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

- 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).

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
