Hi everyone. I'm just starting to learn ClojureScript and Om specifically. I'm confused as to which om I need to learn. Should I start with om and then move to om-next later or should I start with om-next and skip the other one. The only concern is I have an existing REST api and I want to build a UI around it in cljs. Sorry for the newbie question.

Would recomend you take a look at fulcro. Its an om-next fork. Really nicely documented & actively maintained. http://fulcro.fulcrologic.com/docs.html

@UAF6CS4JG om was kinda dropped in favor of om-next. Om-next is different so you will not get any benefits from learning om. And not much going on these days in om-next as far as I can tell. Re-frame is the most popular & fulcro has pretty active community so might be a better choices when getting started

@U3LP7DWPR Thank you. fulcro and re-frame both look good.

@UAF6CS4JG youre welcome. Re-frame should be easyier to pickup. Fulcro has a bit more of a learning curve (but the great docs & really nice video series, help a lot). Both are great choices, I went with fulcro because of the ssr, normalized db & fullstack story. In the fulcro book there is also a rest api example implementation.
