About this title

Synopsis

DESCRIPTION

Clojure is a new version of Lisp that runs on the Java Virtual Machine.

It’s a functional language, which means that it’s ideal for the growing

need for concurrent programming and for specialized tasks like

creating domain specific languages.

Clojure in Action is a hands-on tutorial for the working programmer

who has written code in a language like Java or Ruby, but has no prior

experience with Lisp. It teaches Clojure from the basics to advanced

topics using practical, real-world application examples. Readers will

move quickly through the theory and dive into practical matters like

unit-testing, environment set up, and all the way through building a

scalable web-application using domain-specific languages, Hadoop,

HBase, and RabbitMQ.
