Course Summary
The Introduction to Clojure training course will help Java developers, as well as those with other backgrounds, get up to speed with Clojure, a general purpose programming language which boasts immutable data structures, novel concurrency primitives, and strong facilities for interacting with the rest of the Java ecosystem. Since it is a Lisp, it is also completely dynamic, offers a wealth of functional programming facilities, and has a powerful macro system.
The course begins with installing Clojure and related tools and interacting with Clojure via the read-eval-print-loop (REPL). Next, the course dives into creating functions, data-structures, macros, and types. The course concludes with a lesson on the use of functional programming constructs like map and reduce and an overview of designing, implementing, and testing Clojure programs
- Productivity Objectives:
- Identify the fundamentals of Clojure programming
- Discover the productivity that comes from functional programming
- Build a non-trivial Clojure application
