The book is kinda big...with 434 pages...and it's the first book and my first approach to Clojure.
I have to say...I'm not a big fan of Java...I don't even actually like it...but Clojure...it's something else -:) With its Lisp like syntax and it's functional orientation...it's a delightful programming language...
The book itself it's a great introduction to have us ready for something else...but...as Clojure is still a young language...some of the examples don't work mainly because some keywords or libraries had become obsolete...gladly most of the examples work just out of the box...
There are also many examples that help to fully understand what Clojure is all about...
If you haven't heard about closures, recursion, higher-order functions or currying...the this book is for you...
While I'm planning to read more Clojure books, I can say that this book is the perfect way to get started...
