Yeah, JoC is my favorite clojure book, but I agree it's not the best to start with.
Let me throw a couple others into the mix that haven't been mentioned yet. If you come from a solid OO background, I highly recommend Brian Marick's book "Functional Programming For the Object Oriented programmer". He sells it on Leanpub, so it's not as well known as some of the others. But for someone with lots of OO experience trying to wrap their head around functional concepts, I think it's a great book. I've started recommending it to all my old Java friends who are interested in Clojure. Another book I found useful starting out was "Web Development in Clojure" (I think that's the name) from PragPub. It's main contribution is showing you how to put all the pieces together end to end into a finished app. One last one that I know seems completely out of place is "Functional JavaScript" by Fogus (one of the JoC authors). Even if you never use JavaScript, the book is worth reading for his explanations of functional concepts. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
