If you are into books, I will recommend Clojure for the Brave and True which is free to read online [1], and Living Clojure [2], in that order.

If you're into interactive kata-style problems, there's 4Clojure [3].

Also join the Clojurians's Slack [4] for the community.

This is my way of learning too. I certainly dont have a patience to read the docs, official guide before i start. Just hacking directly through repl and getting to know primitive data types, constructs and most commonly needed APIs functions is the most practical way IMHO.

Of most of the books written on clojure i really like "Living Clojure" by Carin Meier. Throughout this book, she will give you the feeling that she is sitting beside you and you pair programming with a senior clojure developer. She goes very elegantly into each topic through actual examples and necessary commentary.

Highly recommend this book :- https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/living-clojure/97814919...

Clojure = Functional programming + Lisp + Decomplecting.

The first two are big enough to spend months on. Expecting to learn it all in a week(end) is unrealistic. See "Living Clojure" http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920034292.do

Your brain will thank you.

If you're looking for clojurists... Note that Carin's looking for new opportunities right now.

She's also the author of http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920034292.do

I worked with her in a past life, she's great to work with, I'd recommend her for any team.

Her book is "Living Clojure", from O'Reilly:
