Description
Book Synopsis: Drowning in unnecessary complexity, unmanaged state, and tangles of spaghetti code? In the best tradition of Lisp, Clojure gets out of your way so you can focus on expressing simple solutions to hard problems. Clojure cuts through complexity by providing a set of composable tools--immutable data, functions, macros, and the interactive REPL. Written by members of the Clojure core team, this book is the essential, definitive guide to Clojure. This new edition includes information on all the newest features of Clojure, such as transducers and specs.Clojure joins the flexibility and agility of Lisp with the reach, stability, and performance of Java. Combine Clojure's tools for maximum effectiveness as you work with immutable data, functional programming, and safe concurrency to write programs that solve real-world problems.Start by reading and understanding Clojure syntax and see how Clojure is evaluated. From there, find out about the sequence abstraction, which combines immutable collections with functional programming to create truly reusable data transformation code. Clojure is a functional language; learn how to write programs in a functional style, and when and how to use recursion to your advantage. Discover Clojure's unique approach to state and identity, techniques for polymorphism and open systems using multimethods and protocols, and how to leverage Clojure's metaprogramming capabilities via macros. Finally, put all the pieces together in a real program.New to this edition is coverage of Clojure's spec library, one of the most interesting new features of Clojure for describing both data and functions. You can use Clojure spec to validate data, destructure data, explain invalid data, and generate large numbers of tests to verify the correctness of your code.With this book, you'll learn how to think in Clojure, and how to take advantage of its combined strengths to build powerful programs quickly.What You Need:Java 6 or higher Clojure 1.9
Details
Drowning in unnecessary complexity, unmanaged state, and tangles of spaghetti code? Look no further. The Programming Clojure (The Pragmatic Programmers) book is here to help you cut through the clutter and provide you with the tools you need to express simple solutions to hard problems. Written by members of the Clojure core team, this book is the essential, definitive guide to Clojure, the functional programming language that combines the flexibility and agility of Lisp with the reach, stability, and performance of Java.
Clojure is designed to get out of your way and let you focus on what matters most: solving real-world problems. With its set of composable tools including immutable data, functions, macros, and the interactive REPL, Clojure provides a clean and efficient approach to programming. This new edition of the book covers all the newest features of Clojure, such as transducers and specs, giving you comprehensive knowledge to leverage the power of this language.
Whether you are a beginner or an experienced programmer, Programming Clojure will guide you through the fundamentals, syntax, and evaluation of Clojure. You will learn how to use the sequence abstraction to easily transform data, how to write programs in a functional style, and how to take advantage of Clojure's unique approach to state and identity. Explore the techniques for polymorphism and open systems using multimethods and protocols, and unlock the full potential of Clojure's metaprogramming capabilities via macros.
One of the most interesting new features of Clojure is its spec library, and this book provides insight into how to use it to validate data, explain invalid data, and generate tests to verify the correctness of your code. By the end of this book, you will not only be able to think in Clojure but also build powerful programs quickly by leveraging its combined strengths.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to master Clojure and revolutionize your programming approach. Get your copy of Programming Clojure now and unleash the full potential of this language.
