Splendid question! I'm also an experienced C++ developer and I've been wondering the same thing myself for quite some time. Personally I found a wonderful step-by-step book from Pragmatic Press "Web Development with Clojure: Build Bulletproof Web Apps with Less Code" http://pragprog.com/book/dswdcloj/web-development-with-clojure http://pragprog.com/book/dswdcloj/web-development-with-cloju.... The book explains in step-by-step fashion and working example code how to build a web app from scratch. Of course, the Clojure approach is quite different from most web-stuff out there, focusing on reusable and small libraries rather than large frameworks but I find it appealing personally.
