+1 for Manning's MEAP approach - I've bought most of my Manning books through the early access program over the years.
Also +1 for JoC not really being a beginner's book. I generally recommend Clojure Programming (Emerick, Carper, Grand) as a first book. Programming Clojure 2nd ed is good too. I expect Clojure in Action 2nd ed to be worthwhile (I liked the 1st ed but it appeared just after 1.3 hit and a lot of the examples in the book no longer worked properly - Manning knew the book would be out of date at release so I was disappointed they didn't listen to people who suggested they delay release until it could be updated to 1.3). FWIW, JoC was my first Clojure book - but I had a solid background in both Lisp and FP, although I hadn't done much with either for many, many years... Buy as many of the latest editions as you can afford :) Sean On Sat, Nov 30, 2013 at 10:59 AM, John Mastro <john.b.mas...@gmail.com> wrote: > Manning (the publisher) has an interesting early-access program called MEAP. > I used it to buy [1] electronic access to both the first edition and the > second edition (the in-progress version immediately, plus the final version > when it's released).
