Apologies if this sort of question has already been answered, but if you could only give someone one video to peek there intrest in clojure which would it be, I know there are classic talks like "simple made easy" but I am also thinking about a good showcase in general like using the repl how you develop an application etc, there are plenty of video out there so curious if you could only give a college one / two which would you choose for someone with no prior knowledge ?
this from Jack Rusher is nice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=i_dUvhEIGBQ A specific, well defined problem is solved interactively, each interactive step can be seen.
I like @rafd’s Solving Problems the Clojure Way extra much. He’s not even using Clojure to show what he means. 😃 • https://youtu.be/vK1DazRK_a0?si=bd3PD9s3TTVvIOBD
For me The Clojure Way includes interactive programming. I have received some interesting follow up inquiries from people who have watched this one: • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0K1oaFGvuQ • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-cys75qaCw (Same, but much shorter) I think it lands well because there is ZERO problems understanding the problem, and full focus on the interactive workflow.
This playlist is awesome, and also teaches super good habits when coding: • https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVfFIUHWy-aM9e9jW2Ir80EQq1jpjIQF9
great thanks I will pass those along, I forgot about parens of the dead that's a great series
This video gives a 2 minute peek into the essence of Clojure Repl Driven Devopment https://practical.li/clojure/introduction/repl-workflow/#evaluating-source-code
this would be a cool mini web project for a site called something like "clojure peek my interest" with a small number of collated resources 🙂
