Clojure Cookbook: Recipes for Functional Programming

Description

With more than 150 detailed recipes, this cookbook shows experienced Clojure developers how to solve a variety of programming tasks with this JVM language. The solutions cover everything from building dynamic websites and working with databases to network communication, cloud computing, and advanced testing strategies. And more than 60 of the world’s best Clojurians contributed recipes.Each recipe includes code that you can use right away, along with a discussion on how and why the solution works, so you can adapt these patterns, approaches, and techniques to situations not specifically covered in this cookbook.Master built-in primitive and composite data structuresCreate, develop and publish libraries, using the Leiningen toolInteract with the local computer that’s running your applicationManage network communication protocols and librariesUse techniques for connecting to and using a variety of databasesBuild and maintain dynamic websites, using the Ring HTTP server libraryTackle application tasks such as packaging, distributing, profiling, and loggingTake on cloud computing and heavyweight distributed data crunchingDive into unit, integration, simulation, and property-based testingClojure Cookbook is a collaborative project with contributions from some of the world’s best Clojurians, whose backgrounds range from aerospace to social media, banking to robotics, AI research to e-commerce.
