Explore various advanced algorithms and learn how they are used to address many real-world computing challenges
Construct elegant solutions using impressive techniques including zippers, parsing, and pattern matching
Solve complex problems by adopting innovative approaches such as logic or asynchronous programming

Who This Book Is For

This book is for intermediate Clojure developers who can read and write in this language quite comfortably. Besides, it is assumed that you have some knowledge of how to set up Clojure projects, include dependencies, how to run REPLs, and so on through Leiningen and Figwheel. No prior awareness of any of the algorithms covered in this book is needed, and, when appropriate, pointers are given to the explanation material about any theory related to them.

What You Will Learn

Explore alternative uses of classical data structures such as arrays and linked lists
Explore advanced machine learning and optimization techniques
Utilize the Clojure libraries, such as Instaparse for parsing, core.match for pattern matching, clojure.zip for zippers, and clojure.matrix for matrix operations
Learn logic programming through the core.logic library
Master asynchronous programming using the core.async library
Observe transducers while resolving real-world use cases

In Detail

Clojure is a highly pragmatic language with efficient and easy data manipulation capabilities. This provides us with an opportunity to easily explore many challenging and varied algorithmic topics, while using some extremely creative methods.

In this book, we'll discover alternative uses for classical data structures (arrays, linked lists, and trees), cover some machine learning and optimization techniques, and even delve into some innovative ways of approaching algorithmic problem solving, such as logic programming, asynchronous programming or the usage of advanced functional constructs, namely transducers or the continuation passing style.

Store Description

**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
