The Clojure standard library is a treasure trove of functions and macros that
have been battle-tested over the years to solve the most challenging
programming problems. Knowing whats available in the standard library not only
liberates programmers from mundane tasks like connecting to data sources,
parsing XML, dealing with numbers but also more advanced problems like
handling concurrency and parallelism. Having a deep knowledge of the Clojure
standard library helps you solve problems quickly and more efficiently.
Clojure, The Essential Reference is an extensive reference to the standard
library but it doesnt read as a dull list of functions. In addition to
providing clear explanations for each topic, this guide is full of real-world
examples, links, and background information. The book approaches difficult
topics by illustrating them in a readable and pleasant way, using visual
structure to emphasize the essential information. The book is designed to be
used as a reference, but each function provides an interesting reading on its
own, offering insight into functional and general programming. By using this
reference, you will be able to make the most idiomatic and efficient choice
while developing a Clojure application. About the Technology About the Book
Whats Inside Each function or macro is presented with: An introduction
including areas of application and main goals A more rigorous contract
section, including parameters and return types Real world examples of the
function in action Background and conceptual information necessary to better
understand the function Diagrams and comparison tables Implementation details
and performance implications About the Reader For developers of all skill
levels who need a thorough reference to Clojure standard library. About the
Authors Renzo Borgatti is a software engineer with more than 15 years of
experience in the field. Renzo worked with Java, Ruby, and Objective-C before
discovering Clojure and functional programming a few years ago, a passion that
quickly turned into professional work. Hes a frequent speaker at user groups
and conferences. Quotes The Essential Reference is just that. It will help you
to make good use of the built-in tools so you dont have to re-invent the
wheel. - Harrison Maseko Clojure: The Essential Reference is an excellent
companion book to guide you on your journey to more elegant solutions through
a better understanding of Clojures standard library. - Dan Sheikh This book is
probably the best true reference on the clojure language and programming
model. It hits all the high points: it is complete and detailed, it is
practical, it offers examples and tips on how to use AND become a better
programmer. - James Nyika Fantastic, thorough, a must have. - Luis
Moux-Domnguez This is a solid reference book on the Clojure language and
standard library. - Robert Walsh
