even better apparently is the code joc2elaunch50 allowing discounts for a bunch of books
fogus, eagerly anticipating the logic programming section. Skip everything else to draft that, of course after the Clojure/West miniKanren conf. Which I am unable to attend (crying softly in my cubicle).
Maybe at lambda jam you or David Nolen will do a workshop on logic programming. Who do I bribe to make this happen?
Edit: This applies to the PDF version, the ePub and Mobi just put your name in the metadata, I believe.
The book itself had the particularly annoying section 13 that caters to certain fads (DSLs and Java bashing, pseudo-philosophical musings about functional programming). I hope this juvenile drivel will be left out in the new edition; if I want to read content-less feel-good articles, there is no shortage of free content.
I remember that the sections on namespaces and destructuring have been really nice.
I mean compare the two clojure books wrt v1.
Clojure in Action is more of a practical, get-shit-done book. It covers things like databases, web frameworks, TDD and message queues in the context of Clojure. It also has a brief introduction to the language itself and some coverage of functional programming idioms, but the focus is more strongly on real-world usage rather than deep understanding.
So for a Clojure noob (like me) it might be better to start with Clojure in Action and then read Joy of Clojure.
Happy times :)
