If you've started learning Clojure, you need Clojure Applied: From Practice to Practitioner, now in beta at pragprog.com/book/vmclojeco. If you haven't yet started learning this powerful language that runs on the Java VM, then start with Programming Clojure (pragprog.com/book/shcloj2) first.

You can't use the right tool for the job unless you know the tools. Expand your knowledge of Clojure today.

Clojure Applied: From Practice to Practitioner

Clojure Applied gives you the practical, realistic advice and depth of field that’s been missing from your development practice. You want to develop software in the most effective, efficient way possible. This book gives you the answers you've been looking for in friendly, clear language.

Dive into the core concepts of Clojure: immutable collections, concurrency, pure functions, and state management. You'll finally get the complete picture you've been looking for, rather than dozens of puzzle pieces you must assemble yourself. First, explore the core concepts of Clojure development: learn how to model your domain with immutable data; choose the ideal collection; and write simple, pure functions for efficient transformation. Next you'll apply those core concepts to build applications: discover how Clojure manages state and identity; spread your work for concurrent programming; and create and assemble components. Finally, see how to manage external integration and deployment concerns by developing a testing strategy, connecting with other data sources, and getting your libraries and applications out the door.

Go beyond the toy box and into Clojure’s way of thinking. By the end of this book, you'll have the tools and information to put Clojure's strengths to work.

Google Drive Support

Good news! In addition to electronic delivery to Dropbox and Kindle, we've added support for Google Drive.

It works the same as Dropbox: you enable it at https://pragprog.com/my_profile, and our gerbils will drop newly generated books into your Google Drive in the Pragmatic Bookshelf folder.

The big benefit of this is reading books on Android devices. Install the Google Drive client and the Google Play Reader app, and your bookshelf books are just a click away.

Enjoy!
