Clojure Cookbook: Recipes for Functional Programming (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781449366179)

With more than 150 detailed recipes, this cookbook shows experienced Clojure developers how to solve a variety of programming tasks with this JVM language. The solutions cover everything from building dynamic websites and working with databases to network communication, cloud computing, and advanced testing strategies. And more than 60 of the world's best Clojurians contributed recipes.

Each recipe includes code that you can use right away, along with a discussion on how and why the solution works, so you can adapt these patterns, approaches, and techniques to situations not specifically covered in this cookbook.

• Master built-in primitive and composite data structures
• Create, develop and publish libraries, using the Leiningen tool
• Interact with the local computer that's running your application
• Manage network communication protocols and libraries
• Use techniques for connecting to and using a variety of databases
• Build and maintain dynamic websites, using the Ring HTTP server library
• Tackle application tasks such as packaging, distributing, profiling, and logging
