Clojurians Log v2
introduce-yourself
Hi everyone. I am Azeez. I am from India. I am a beginner to programming as well as Clojure. I just finished second year in my university program called master of computer applications. I have a beginner to intermediate level experience in languages like C and Python. I wanted to explore lisp languages when I was studying the topic about programming languages. I came across a YouTube playlist where the instructor was teaching racket and I used How to design programs textbook for my course as well. I would like to explore and teach myself Clojure. I am using two textbooks right now, Clojure for the Brave and True and Joy of Clojure. Glad to be here with the closely knit community. Hope to learn more.
Thank you @eggsyntax . My focus is on brave and true right now, which I a, enjoying getting into Clojure right away. The joy of Clojure is very in-depth in explaining things like philosophy of Clojure. Thank you for your insights, it’s helpful for beginners like me.
Welcome! I'd say that Brave and True is the one I'd focus on first; Joy of Clojure is my favorite Clojure book, but it's somewhat dense for a first book on a language. We also have a very friendly #beginners channel -- feel free to post any questions there!
(Unless BaT is moving too slowly for you, or otherwise doesn't feel like a good fit, in which case it would be fine to move on directly to JoC, just keep in mind that it's dense)
