Do you recommend my first book be something like this, or something more "traditional", like O'Reilly's "Living Clojure" or "Clojure"?
- diggan 6y agoYeah, "Clojure For The Brave and True" (CFTBT) is perfect for your first steps with Clojure, then diving into the deeper/bigger books. In the beginning I basically used CFTBT as a tutorial/guide for finding concepts then using "Clojure Programming" (O'Reilly Media, by Chas Emerick + more) as a reference if I wanted to dive deeper into a specific concept, as "Clojure Programming" goes a lot deeper into subjects, but the subjects don't feel like they are in any particular order in the book itself. I think the lightweight humor and good explanations is what kept me from getting discouraged, as some Clojure books did to me before I came across CFTBT.
