Book Description

We have reached a point where machines are not getting much faster, software projects need to be delivered quickly, and high quality in software is more demanding as ever.

We need to explore new ways of writing software that helps achieve those goals. Clojure offers a new possibility of writing high quality, multi-core software faster than ever, without having to leave your current platform.

Clojure for Java developers aims at unleashing the true potential of the Clojure language to use it in your projects. The book begins with the installation and setup of the Clojure environment before moving on to explore the language in-depth. Get acquainted with its various features such as functional programming, concurrency, etc. with the help of example projects. Additionally, you will also, learn how the tooling works, and how it interacts with the Java environment.

By the end of this book, you will have a firm grip on Clojure and its features, and use them effectively to write more robust programs.

What you will learn

Understand the tools for the Clojure world and how they relate to Java tools and standards (like Maven)
Learn about immutable data structures, and what makes them feasible for everyday programming
Write simple multi-core programs using Clojure's core concepts, like atoms, agents and refs
Understand that in Clojure, code is data, and how to take advantage of that fact by generating and manipulating code with macros
Learn how Clojure interacts with Java, how the class loaders work and how to use Clojure from Java or the other way around
Discover a new, more flexible meaning of polymorphism and understand that OOP is not the only way to get it

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.
