Learn Clojure with fun and interactive lessons
Want to learn Clojure? It doesn't have to be hard!
Maybe you've heard of Clojure. Maybe you even tried to learn it. If you did, you may have had some of these problems:
- Trouble getting Clojure installed and working
- What text editor should you use?
- The syntax is foreign and strange
- There's so much to learn
- What practical thing can you even build?
These problems are hard to figure out on your own, and many tutorials skip over these. Wouldn't it be nice if you had:
- A clear guide to installing Clojure on your system
- A great text editor without installing anything new
- A gentle introduction to the syntax without dwelling on it
- Someone teach you just what you need to learn right when you need it
- A fun, engaging activity to get you programming right away
