Description
Summary:"A cornucopia of programming concepts." William E. Byrd and Daniel P. Friedman, authors of "The Reasoned Schemer" The Joy of Clojure, Second Edition is a deep account of the Clojure language. Fully updated for Clojure 1.6, this edition goes beyond the syntax to show you how to write fluent Clojure code. You'll learn functional and declarative approaches to programming and will master techniques that make Clojure elegant and efficient. The book shows you how to solve hard problems related to concurrency, interoperability, and performance, and how great it can be to think in the Clojure way. The Clojure programming language is a dialect of Lisp that runs on the Java Virtual Machine and JavaScript runtimes. It is a functional programming language that offers great performance, expressive power, and stability by design. It gives you built-in concurrency and the predictable precision of immutable and persistent data structures. And it's really, really fast. The instant you see long blocks of Java or Ruby dissolve into a few lines of Clojure, you'll know why the authors of this book call it a "joyful language." It's no wonder that enterprises like Staples are betting their infrastructure on Clojure. Inside: Build web apps using ClojureScript Master functional programming techniques Simplify concurrency Covers Clojure 1.6 Michael Fogus and Chris Houser are contributors to the Clojure and ClojureScript programming languages and the authors of various Clojure libraries and language features. Clojure changes the way we think about programming-this book changes the way we think about Clojure. Cristofer Weber, NeoGrid Clear examples for both novice and experienced programmers. Jasper Lievisse Adriaanse, M:Tier A joy to read. I couldn't put it down. Heather Campbell, Kainos NARRATED BY MARK THOMAS
