+1 to Clinton's advice. If anything, SICP et al teach the wrong habits fo working with Clojure.
Christophe Grand, one of the authors of the aforementioned "Clojure Programming" <http://www.clojurebook.com/>book, held a great presentation called "You aren't gonna need it<http://www.ehrdclj.org/files/27-March-2013-cgrand-YAGNI.pdf>" at the first meetup of the The Hague/Rotterdam Clojure group. In it he gave some solid advice what you should concentrate on (and what not) when learning Clojure. Learning the core (higher order) functions of Clojure is paramount, and I found working through the 4clojure problems <http://www.4clojure.com/> a great way to the rationale behind and working with them. If you need practical help with setting up your Clojure development environment, or other indepth tutorials for specific parts of the language, clojure-doc.org is great. It lacks a bit in overview, and hasn't got the narrative qualities of a book for guiding you from one subject to another though, so I'd recommend one of them<http://clojure-doc.org/articles/ecosystem/books.html>as well. Clojuredocs.org is great as cheat-sheet and for short examples. my experience, being inculcated with Scheme will make your Clojure > code look insane, as idiomatic Clojure (insomuch as there is such a > thing) doesn't have functions nested with a butt-load of anonymous > functions. > > http://clojure-doc.org is great and you should go there first.
