I can speak to goal one, that the full writeup is indeed very useful. I'm stumbling my way through local development of a Compojure/Ring web service, picking off tips from the source, API docs, and Brian Carper's informative blog source [1] as I go. Seeing the contents of this tutorial in one place, I learned a lot about rounding out an entire app, as you say, and making it deployable. Even though I don't need HTML for my service and I'll be deploying to a Windows server (relax, let me worry about that feature/bug!), the way you broke it down makes it trivial to tweak for any environment. The command line jetty startup approach is a nice complement to Chas Emerick's maven-style deployment tips [2] for those who don't want or have to plug in to existing Java server infrastructure (another top to bottom tutorial based on WAR files would probably be appreciated by folks who are in that camp). I especially appreciate the middleware demonstrations, as the ability to whip up a little function to augment or change the behavior of the entire app is a strength of Ring-based development. I half-assumed wrap-bounce-favicon was built in, but then you busted out in a few lines right there and it didn't really matter if it existed or not.
