I've been working on this for the last year or so - this is a newly updated version of the first Clojure book, Programming Clojure (the book that I used when I was learning Clojure!). The 1st edition was written by Stuart Halloway around the time of Clojure 1.0. The 2nd edition was updated by Aaron Bedra around Clojure 1.3.


This latest edition targets Clojure 1.9 and includes a revised version of all of the existing text and examples, a new brief intro to transducers and eager transformation in ch 4 (longer intro in Clojure Applied), a new chapter all about spec (ch 5), and soon a new closing chapter that puts things together in an app.


This book is in beta, but is missing only two chapters which should be coming along in the next month or two. If you have questions, it's best to ask on the forum or file an errata rather than discuss here:
