Reading More on Clojure
We are going to be writing a project in Clojure, and I've been told I'm going to be on this project, so I need to get up to speed on Clojure. Thankfully, I had the Pragmatic Programmer's book on Programming Clojure, so I've been re-reading it these past few days.
It's interestingly a lot like Erlang, which I had to learn at a previous position for some work I was doing there. In fact, that's when I picked up the Clojure book, but I also had to pick up the Erlang book, and since there was work to do on that, it took top priority for my time, so I learned it more completely.
Now I'm looking at Clojure, and it's really a lot like Erlang in a bunch of ways. The record data structure, the gen_server ideas, and the functional code all make for a pretty quick learn for me. There's still a lot I need to read - I'm only about one-third of the way through, but it's something that I've been working on these days. Just to be ready.
