As hosted languages, Clojure and ClojureScript can also be daunting for newcomers because of complexities in the tooling and the challenge of interacting with the host platforms. To help you overcome these barriers, this book adopts a practical approach. Every chapter is centered around building something.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs you progress through the book, you will progressively develop the 'muscle memory' that will make you a productive Clojure programmer, and help you see the world through the concepts of functional programming. You will also gain familiarity with common idioms and patterns, as well as exposure to some of the most widely used libraries.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike many Clojure books, this Workshop will include significant coverage of both Clojure and ClojureScript. This makes it useful no matter your goal or preferred platform, and provides a fresh perspective on the hosted nature of the language.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy the end of this book, you'll have the knowledge, skills and confidence to creatively tackle your own ambitious projects with Clojure and ClojureScript.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat you will learn\u003c/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eWrite idiomatic code with Clojure and ClojureScript\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eUnderstand and use common patterns and best practices\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eExperiment with code and interact with programs using the REPL\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eLearn the fundamentals of functional programming and immutability\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eMaster concepts including mapping, filtering, reducing and recursion\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eStructure and build your code using namespaces and Leiningen\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eWrite unit tests to validate application behavior\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSimplify your code and improve efficiency with macros\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWho this book is for\u003c/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Clojure Workshop is for anyone who is curious about functional programming and wants to get started learning Clojure or ClojureScript. Prior experience of another programming language, such as Java or JavaScript, is recommended, and will help you grasp the concepts covered in this book more easily.\u003c/p\u003e
