Unit 0. Get Programming with Clojure

Welcome to Get Programming with Clojure!

In the current Unit, we will give you a taste of the Clojure syntax and explore together what specifically makes Clojure a fun language to learn and use and when it is most appropriate to use Clojure.

We will discuss the following topics:

Lesson 1 introduces the Clojure syntax and its particular usage of the parenthesis
Lesson 2 describes at a high level Clojure key features
Lesson 3 discusses the use cases where it makes the more sense to use Clojure

The core of this Unit is Lesson 2 where we explain what makes Clojure such a powerful language. We present several Clojure code snippets in order to make the ideas concrete. That is the reason why we present the basics of the Clojure syntax in Lesson 1.

After completing this Unit, I hope that you will be motivated and well prepared to start your journey into this wonderful language called Clojure.

More details about the Clojure syntax and Clojure installation instructions and will come in Unit 1 and Unit 2.
