DESCRIPTION
Clojure is a dialect of Lisp that runs on both the JVM and anywhere that JavaScript runs. It combines the nice features of a scripting language with the powerful features of a production environment—features like persistent data structures and clean concurrency primitives that are needed for industrial-strength application development.
The Joy of Clojure, Second Edition has been fully updated to cover the new and improved features of Clojure 1.5. It goes beyond the syntax, and shows how to write fluent, idiomatic Clojure code. Readers will learn to approach programming challenges from a functional perspective and master the Lisp techniques that make Clojure so efficient and elegant. It also tackles hard software areas like concurrency, interoperability, performance, and more.
RETAIL SELLING POINTS
Tells the "why" and "how" of Clojure Covers the new and improved Clojure 1.5 Teachers elegant application design
AUDIENCE
Written for programmers coming to Clojure from another programming background—no prior experience with Clojure or Lisp is required.
ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY
Clojure is a powerful general purpose programming language that has powerful features supporting functional programming and multicore computation. It targets the Java Virtual Machine and modern JavaScript engines and provides easy access to host libraries, while providing an agile LISP-like environment.

How can you overcome JavaScript language oddities and unsafe features? With this book, you’ll learn how to create code that’s beautiful, safe, and simple to understand and test by using JavaScript’s functional programming support. Author Michael Fogus shows you how to apply functional-style concepts with Underscore.js, a JavaScript library that facilitates functional programming techniques. Sample code is available on GitHub at https://github.com/funjs/book-source.
Fogus helps you think in a functional way to help you minimize complexity in the programs you build. If you’re a JavaScript programmer hoping to learn functional programming techniques, or a functional programmer looking to learn JavaScript, this book is the ideal introduction.
Use applicative programming techniques with first-class functionsUnderstand how and why you might leverage variable scoping and closuresDelve into higher-order functions—and learn how they take other functions as arguments for maximum advantageExplore ways to compose new functions from existing functionsGet around JavaScript’s limitations for using recursive functionsReduce, hide, or eliminate the footprint of state change in your programsPractice flow-based programming with chains and functional pipelinesDiscover how to code without using classes
