Clojure Web Development Essentials

If you've already worked with Clojure and loved its concise syntax, and want to start developing web apps with it, then this book is for you. This book is a beacon of light, the strong signal to noise ratio that will get you up and running. It s best if you have at least a little bit of experience developing web apps, just so your mind is around the statelessness of it all. You ll also want to have a bit of experience with Leiningen, the popular Clojure build tool.

Ryan Baldwin

Ryan Baldwin is a theatre major turned computer science geek. Hailing from the prairies of Western Canada, Ryan has been developing software on a wide array of platforms and technologies since 2001. Once, he wrote a crazy system application that compiled XSD Schema Docs into XAML forms that performed two-way binding with underlying XML documents in .NET WPF. Why? Because it had to be done. Another time, he worked on a project that mashed many social networks into one gigantic thing that essentially allowed users to find out all of their indirect connections. It was eventually shelved. In 2012, he relocated to Toronto, where he works with the University Health Network, developing systems and tools that facilitate patient information exchange. You can often find him wearing headphones and jittering in coffee shops.
