More so now, than ever before, Clojure and its community are expanding and growing. As simple tools and techniques are developed and composed higher and higher, it’s important to have a strong foundation both intellectually and pragmatically. Clojure Cookbook is a great tool for developing upon both those axes; its recipes provide quick, useful solutions, while diving deep on why and how.
Readers of Clojure Cookbook are going to walk away with a strong sense of how to apply Clojure’s functional techniques in a practical manner and a solid, long-term resource for kick-starting solutions
Web development in Clojure is really taking off on two fronts. On one hand, the ecosystem is broadening and getting more stable and easy to approach. On the other hand, exciting new tools and techniques are breaking onto the scene, including core. async, React/om, and Hoplon.
The animal on the cover of Clojure Cookbook is an aardwolf (Proteles cristata), a small mammal with two separate populations in the plains of Eastern and Southern Africa. Though its name means "earth wolf" in the Afrikaans language, it is part of the hyena family. The aardwolf generally doesn't eat carrion like its larger cousins do-- its diet mainly consists of insects (especially termites), which it catches with a long, sticky tongue.
