Clojure for beginners

[Clojure beginner]

Hi all
I heard about Clojure a week ago and have a new assignment at work to learn, develope and deploy to production. I haven't developed in 2 years. Programming background is: mainframe and informatica. I have bought 5 books: and Clojure programming, Clojure for brave and true, Clojure in action, programming Clojure, the joy of clojure. I have also been on the main Clojure website. It's been a week and I still don't understand the meat and potatoes. Any recommendations where I can get a walk through of it with real examples.

Living Clojure by Carin Meier is very concise with great examples!

What type of application are you building btw?

You have 5 books and you cannot find a real example?

Hi,

Peruse github and read some code until you can find an anchor point to get you started. You might find some problem/need solved that relates to
some of your past experience and allows you to train with ‘real’ code.

Meat and potatoes?

This isn't in the same league as any of those books, or the anything recommended by anyone else. And you probably already know everything it has to teach. But it seems worth mentioning.

I threw this together a couple of years ago:

https://github.com/jimrthy/clojure-introduction

It's really meant to be something you open in your editor and then used with its REPL integration to get a feel for the high-level overview.

If you don't have an editor set up with REPL integration, stop everything else and get that working. That's one of the major advantages that lisps have over almost any other language. If you try to approach this the way you'd write code in, say, python or java, you're going to be sad.

Meat and potatoes and real example, could mean many things. It might be
helpful to elaborate a little.
