Clojure Course Overview

The Clojure course is an immersive learning experience designed to introduce programmers to the Clojure programming language, a modern Lisp dialect for the Java Virtual Machine. It is perfect for developers seeking to expand their toolset and embrace functional programming paradigms.

Module 1 provides a foundational understanding of Clojure, discussing its benefits, setting up the environment, and exploring the available tooling. Module 2 delves into the basics of Clojure syntax and introduces the REPL, teaching learners how to create and execute Clojure projects. Module 3 focuses on defining and executing functions, including variadic and multi-arity functions. Module 4 covers the essentials of namespaces for code organization, while Module 5 reveals how to interface with Java code from Clojure.

Module 6 extends the syntax knowledge to more advanced structures, and Module 7 introduces functional programming concepts, emphasizing the importance of higher-order and anonymous functions. Module 8 explores Clojure’s rich data structures and sequence operations, and finally, Module 9 tackles polymorphism with types and records.

By the end of the course, learners will be well-equipped to write efficient and expressive code using Clojure, making the most of its functional programming features and seamless Java interoperability.
