Why learn Clojure

Clojure is a general purpose, Java inspired, functional programming language.

In 2019, the popular site StackOverflow rated Clojure as the highest paying programming language in the world, and second highest in the United States.

Many big players like LinkedIn, Cisco, CitiGroup etc use Clojure as one of their main languages.

This course teaches you:

• to install the Clojure environment on a PC or Mac

• the language basics like

  • functions

  • data types

  • variables

  • etc

• the fundamentals of

  • loops

  • sequences

  • exception handling

  • etc

• advanced topics such as

  • namespaces

  • agents

  • reference values

  • etc

• practical applications of all studied concepts

• plenty of coding challenges

We will apply everything we learned through coding small applications to solidify what we are studying.

This course opens up many opportunities to work in a niche market, where your skills will be highly values by employers. There is a huge shortage of Clojure skills, and you can claim the top spot.

Clojure is also a fun language to learn. Being a LISP language, it makes it much easier to write code, with Clojure code being on average much smaller than Java or JavaScript. It’s a great skill to have if you’re looking to expand your programming tool belt.
