:woman-raising-hand: I was wondering if there should be a tutorial that guides Clojure learners building something like mid-size project (I know defined mid-size project), or maybe a website listing recipes for most io-related-stuff (side-effects): • Create a REST API and its automatically generated documentation • Conversely, API clients • File access + visitor • Network access • DB Access • Messaging Queue Access (i.e. rabbit / kafka) • Resource management

Btw this has been noticed https://github.com/seancorfield/usermanager-example Maybe a bit more step by step :thinking_face:

https://www.braveclojure.com/clojure-for-the-brave-and-true/ I've found this resource easier to swallow than the official website

@U02DUHKTDAM I'll be interested to know what you feel about this workshop https://github.com/inclojure-org/clojure-by-example (full disclojure, I helped write it).

Natalie Perret22:09:40

Will have a look at it!

Riffing off this idea further, I wonder if it makes sense to design / recommend a "canonical" series of progressions and set of learning paths. A Clojure(Script)-focused Developer Roadmap of the kind seen at: https://roadmap.sh/

I think that would be awesome!

Pitching in here! I agree with @U02DUHKTDAM that a “mid-size project” would be an excellent resource for learners! A step-by-step guide, showing showing how to create a Clojure back-end/API, connected to a ClojureScript (React and/or ReactNative) front-end, and reading/writing to a database. Maybe a barebones to-do app, or something along those lines. Perhaps a simple game, like Tic-tac-toe or Yahtzee, would be fun.

Like the most common ways to achieve things this kind of things.

Natalie Perret01:09:45

Maybe also common ways to achieve parsing, validation, combining validations, etc. As much as I agree that we are all "adults", I don't think it's necessarily wrong to take a stance on what is the most idiomatic way of doing certain things.
