书籍简介：

For weeks, months—nay!—from the very moment you were born, you’ve felt it calling to you. At long last you’ll be united with the programming language you’ve been longing for: Clojure! As a Lisp-style functional programming language, Clojure lets you write robust and elegant code, and because it runs on the Java Virtual Machine, you can take advantage of the vast Java ecosystem. Clojure for the Brave and True offers a “dessert-first” approach: you’ll start playing with real programs immediately, as you steadily acclimate to the abstract but powerful features of Lisp and functional programming. Inside you’ll find an offbeat, practical guide to Clojure, filled with quirky sample programs that catch cheese thieves and track glittery vampires. Learn how to: Wield Clojure’s core functions Use Emacs for Clojure development Write macros to modify Clojure itself Use Clojure’s tools to simplify concurrency and parallel programming Clojure for the Brave and True assumes no prior experience with Clojure, the Java Virtual Machine, or functional programming. Are you ready, brave reader, to meet your true destiny? Grab your best pair of parentheses—you’re about to embark on an epic journey into the world of Clojure!

作者简介：

Daniel Higginbotham has been a professional programmer for 11 years, half of that at McKinsey & Company, where he used Clojure to build mobile and web applications. He has also contributed to the curriculum for ClojureBridge, an organization that offers free, beginner-friendly Clojure workshops for women. Daniel blogs about life and programming at http://flyingmachinestudios.com/, and can be found on Twitter, @nonrecursive. He lives in Durham, North Carolina, with his wife and four cats.

书友短评：

@ xiaohanyu 蛮好的，简洁明了，但是高级主题诸如并发，STM 这些在 clojure 体系内是学不明白的，Java 是逃不过的……莫名其妙就开始在工作中写 clojure 上 java 的大船了。 @ 贝塔 目前为止最合适的 clojure 入门书了，如果 应该是最适合clojure入门的书籍了 @ 拉格朗日 Both practical and philosophical @ KyleFeng 入门佳品 @ Spike 简洁明了，非常适合入门。 @ KyleFeng 入门佳品 @ igotti 应该是最适合clojure入门的书籍了 @ xiaohanyu 蛮好的，简洁明了，但是高级主题诸如并发，STM 这些在 clojure 体系内是学不明白的，Java 是逃不过的……莫名其妙就开始在工作中写 clojure 上 java 的大船了。 @ 拉格朗日 Both practical and philosophical
