Clojure, taught the way Java engineers actually learn: concrete examples, JVM-first tooling, and production-minded patterns.
Tip: press Ctrl + K to search from anywhere.
An independent, book-style learning path for moving from Java to idiomatic Clojure on the JVM. The content is organized into focused tracks with short, skimmable chapters you can actually run and apply at work.
Pick a starting point based on your background. Each track is written to be useful on its own.
Syntax, data structures, namespaces, tooling, and the core mindset shift from OOP to data + functions.
Transducers, reducers, macros, project structure, error handling, and writing maintainable modules.
A practical bridge: modeling state, designing boundaries, and “thinking in data” without losing engineering rigor.
Clojure idioms that replace common Java patterns: composition, data-driven design, and pragmatic architecture.
Higher-order functions, laziness, transducers, and practical FP patterns for clear and fast JVM code.
Building services on the JVM with real tooling: HTTP, async, logging, testing, and deployment basics.
Modeling, schema evolution, pipelines, persistence patterns, and working with messy real-world data.
