introduce-yourself
Hello, Clojurians! I am Alfred from Accra, Ghana (West Africa). I am a nurse-turned Web developer. My current stack is JS/TS, React, and NestJS. I was drawn to Clojure's weird syntax 4 years ago but I've only begun learning it for a few months now. I want to learn to build web and mobile apps with Clojure & ClojureScript. In my experience transitioning into tech as a self-taught developer, I find it's more efficient to have a roadmap for learning any new stack/language that takes you from A to B...to Z. I do not have that currently with Clojure. I'm reliving my dreadful experience of bouncing around tutorials and learning materials when I began my tech journey, thus not feeling that I'm making progress - leading to anxiety. I'm pleading for mentorship from you. This would involve giving me a roadmap, regular check-ins, and, assignments. I will pay if that is required. Please help me. My kind regards.
What are you interested in in particular? Are you hoping to build up a web application with a Clojure backend and a ClojureScript frontend, learning what you need to know along the way? What's your current exposure to Clojure? Are your gaps more about the language and how to get stuff done in it, in mapping that to web stuff you already know, or web in general? There's potentially a lot of variables here, and trying to cover too many unknowns all at the same time is a recipe for frustration. It's best to start with things that are at least somewhat familiar, and then stretch from there to new territory
I haven't used it myself but w.r.t. tutoring I've seen this website being mentioned quite a few times here: https://clojure.camp/
There's also a roadmap: https://currmap.clojure.camp/
