It’s all relative. 7am is a lie in for us in t'midlands

Working my way through Clojure Applied atm. It’s a good book. Really sets context to some stuff I’ve learned in bits.

@paulspencerwilliams I read it when it was on early release. I think it fills in how to build an app. It's the only 'intermediate' book I've found on Clojure

paulspencerwilliams17:11:04

Clojure Web apps is quite good too.

paulspencerwilliams17:11:40

obviously fairly specific though.

paulspencerwilliams17:11:47

and very opinionated.

agile_geek17:11:41

Yeah read that too but it felt more like a beginner book than Clojure Applied. I felt it was more like a set of tutorials than a set of advice and experience about design

paulspencerwilliams17:11:53

yeah, maybe. It was fairly basic for an experienced web developer, but if you were okay at basic clojure, then a good book to introduce compojure etc.

agile_geek19:11:06

Don't get me wrong. It's a good book but after the basics I needed advice on how to build and structure Clojure code. I'm going to use a dirty word in the Clojure community but what 'design patterns' to use. I think Clojure Applied is the only book I've read at that level. Clojure Cookbook is good but it's much more granular and again more like a set of tutorials.
