Awesome, thanks! I've always thought the use of books to teach programming was a bit ironic, especially for interpreted languages. Back in the early '90s I had a book called Master C, which came with a floppy that ran a similar type of tutorial. http://www.amazon.com/Waite-Groups-Master-Book-Disks/dp/187873900X http://www.amazon.com/Waite-Groups-Master-Book-Disks/dp/1878... Seems like a long gap between then and now. Also, please let me request a course on Clojure. That would rule!

  Thanks - I don't think they had the tutorial when last I saw it.

  (+ 3 3) is really how arithmetic is performed in Clojure? Okay, I'm done with learning Clojure.

    It may look like a weird way to type things, but it has hidden advantages when you try to do more complex things, like treating data as a program... or programs as data. It's a small price to pay, really, for the power to make some really complex things a lot easier, even if it's a bit weird at first. After a while, it won't even seem weird any more.
