Reviews
"Daniel's approach is refreshing because most of the programming books I've read are drier than a camel's fart. We are fortunate that Daniel is a brilliant programmer and writer and that his wife Jess is an equally brilliant illustrator. We are especially fortunate that they both went insane and decided to write a book at exactly the same time." --Alan Dipert, from the Foreword "This book is a valuable starting point for exploring Clojure, supplying a coherent and current view of the full landscape." --Computing Reviews "I am not the target audience for this book as I not a new Clojure developer, however it was so much fun to read that I read it anyways. If you're looking for a way to start Clojure with fun examples and engaging explanations, I heartily recommend that you check out Clojure for the Brave and True ." --Alex Miller, Clojure developer for Cognitect "Strike[s] that balance between teaching an advanced topic and making it fun without dumbing it down...highly recommended!" --Adam Tornhill, programmer, psychologist, and Lisp hacker

Synopsis
For weeks, months--nay --from the very moment you were born, you've felt it calling to you. At long last you'll be united with the programming language you've been longing for: Clojure As a Lisp-style functional programming language, Clojure lets you write robust and elegant code, and because it runs on the Java Virtual Machine, you can take advantage of the vast Java ecosystem. Clojure for the Brave and True offers a "dessert-first" approach: you'll start playing with real programs immediately, as you steadily acclimate to the abstract but powerful features of Lisp and functional programming. Inside you'll find an offbeat, practical guide to Clojure, filled with quirky sample programs that catch cheese thieves and track glittery vampires. Learn how to: -Wield Clojure's core functions -Use Emacs for Clojure development -Write macros to modify Clojure itself -Use Clojure's tools to simplify concurrency and parallel programming Clojure for the Brave and True assumes no prior experience with Clojure, the Java Virtual Machine, or functional programming. Are you ready, brave reader, to meet your true destiny? Grab your best pair of parentheses--you're about to embark on an epic journey into the world of Clojure, For weeks, months--nay!--from the very moment you were born, you've felt it calling to you.
