Who This Book Is For
This book is intended for Java developers, who are looking for a way to expand their skills and understand new paradigms of programming.

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

In Detail
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.

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
