  Just finished reading it a couple of days ago. It wasn't my first brush with Clojure, but it was still very useful in re-framing what I knew, and filling up the holes. Overall it has a very good ROI for both time and money.

    I'm currently working my way through it and I agree. This is my first experience with a Lisp and the book is a great introduction. Great value for money, DRM-free ebook, updated code on GitHub - I couldn't ask for more. Definitely recommended.

  Can you really call this a review? It's two paragraphs of chapter summary mixed with a sentence ("Programming Clojure is certainly a worthwhile book for any Java and Lisp enthusiasts to read") of lukewarm opinion.

    Yeah... It's a good book, but this reads like some kid's book report.

  My recent approach to learning Clojure: -First watched the Peepcode screencast that compresses everything into an hour to get a good jumpstart -Started reading Programming Clojure -While converting a ruby app I wrote last month into pure Clojure So far I've been very impressed with Clojure. I was already sold on LISP + functional programming from reading SICP. I'll be using it in production over the next year.
