It has the strengths you expect: first-class functions, macros, and Lisp's clean programming style. It supports functional programming, making it ideal for concurrent programming and for creating domain-specific languages. Clojure lets you solve harder problems, make faster changes, and end up with a smaller code base. It's no wonder that there are so many Clojure success stories. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eClojure in Action, Second Edition\u003c\/i\u003e is an expanded and improved version that's been updated to cover the new features of Clojure 1.6. The book gives you a rapid introduction to the Clojure language, moving from abstract theory to practical examples. You'll start by learning how to use Clojure as a general-purpose language. Next, you'll explore Clojure's efficient concurrency model, based on the database concept of Software Transactional Memory (STM). You'll gain a new level of productivity through Clojure DSLs that can run on the JVM. Along the way, you'll learn countless tips, tricks, and techniques for writing smaller, safer, and faster code. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat's Inside\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunctional programming basics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetaprogramming with Clojure's macros\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInteroperating with Java\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers Clojure 1.6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Reader\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAssumes readers are familiar with a programming language like C, Java, Ruby, or Python. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroducing Clojure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClojure elements: Data structures and functions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilding blocks of Clojure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultimethod polymorphism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExploring Clojure and Java interop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eState and the concurrent world\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvolving Clojure through macros\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore on functional programming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtocols, records, and types\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTest-driven development and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore macros and DSL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Manning Publications","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45356293292183,"sku":"9781617291524","price":3902.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781617291524.webp?v=1767671761","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/clojure-in-action-9781617291524","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
