COMMENTARY

Books are not the major force today that they were a couple of decades ago, and it is entirely possible to learn a new language or other technology using only what you find online.

But in this case, books are a big win. I personally learned much of what I know about Clojure by reading “The Joy of Clojure” and working through all the examples therein. Do this, and you’ll be way ahead of most learners.
