I have been holding off bying this until it was done, but now it's time to get comfy and dive in, exciting! Thanks for all the inspiring talks and great Clojure libraries throughout the years, they've made me a better programmer in general and a better Clojure programmer in particular. On

[ANN] 'Elements of Clojure' is complete

I'm very happy to announce, only two and a half years after the release of the first chapter, that Elements of Clojure is completely finished. Further details can be found here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/elements-of-clojure/UUJjqU1rllU. If you've never heard of the book before,

Re: [ANN] Elements of Clojure

Just started reading the first chapter. It makes it even more appealing that the taught techniques are applicable to other programming languages as well. I like the angle the book presents! Torsten. Gregg Reynolds schrieb am Do., 17. März 2016 um 21:03 Uhr: > > On Mar 17,

Re: [ANN] Elements of Clojure

Having just finished the first chapter, I must congratulate you with the best software writing I have read in a long while, maybe ever. I really enjoy how you discuss naming and only use Clojure as a vehicle to illustrate your points. The ideas you put forward should be applicable to any

I changed the link to the Leanpub one. I think the content type may have been wrong before, which maybe Android is overly sensitive to. Glad it's working now. On Sat, Mar 19, 2016 at 6:24 PM Gregg Reynolds wrote: > > On Mar 19, 2016 4:16 PM, "Zach Tellman"

FWIW, I also tried to download the sample PDF on my Android phone (Nexus 5) and got the same error, but I tried twice more and on the third time it just worked. So maybe just keep trying? On Saturday, March 19, 2016 at 5:47:20 PM UTC-4, Gregg Reynolds wrote: > > > On Mar 19, 2016 4:16 PM, "Zach

Re: [ANN] Elements of Clojure

Thanks Bozhidar. I agree that the "default name" sections can be expanded a bit, and some related rules may also fall into the second chapter. I don't think I'll stray too far from what's in your guide. On Sat, Mar 19, 2016 at 11:05 AM Bozhidar Batsov wrote: > Seems to me

Re: [ANN] Elements of Clojure

Seems to me that some more Clojure-specific naming rules can be incorporated into the first chapter (e.g. like the ones we have here https://github.com/bbatsov/clojure-style-guide/#naming). Other than this small remark - excellent work! On 19 March 2016 at 13:20, Val Waeselynck

Re: [ANN] Elements of Clojure

The chapter on naming is brilliant, I rarely learned so much in so few pages :) So far I have found the content to be more about 'philosophical' programming notions than Clojure specifically, but the parts about Clojure are useful and pratical. You may want to state more explicitly how this

Really enjoyed this Zach - well done. I have _longed_ to write a book using Clojure as a vehicle but dealing addressing "how to build great code" and you beat me to it. Luckily, a gazillion books in this space would still not be sufficient so the door for my work isn't closed :-). (and a _huge_
