I think it is a suitable starting resource for any experienced coder. Also, just to add to the thought, if one navigates to infoq one can see Rich Hickey's talks and in it he describes not only a philosophy of an anciently-refreshed-language (lisp a la clojure beauty), but he also talks of some beautiful principles in general. For example, he mentions how when we talk about a River or a Stream, we are not really talking about an object, because there is no section you can block off and say "hey this is the river" due to it changing moment by moment. Yet, for convenience we use the conventional term "river" and it's understood. He also has this one line "the great thing about a hammock is that you can lay in one with your eyes closed and no one will bother you because they think you're sleeping." He totally helped me wake up to the way a coder can really live a fulfilling life, and how the organization/ideation/creation of a digital experience ("application") can happen (and in fact, happens better) away from the computer. Without distraction, with your own balance, it's much easier to focus ones mind. He's truly a great learner and teacher and watching even one talk by him would do anyone interested in Clojure, or the philosophy of coding (if I may call it so) much good.
