I would spend A LOT of time on working with the IDE be it Eclipse/Counterclockwise, IntelliJ or whatever. In my limited experience the main impediment to Clojure is not Clojure itself, which is very sensible, but in dealing with file locations, dependency management, projects, Leiningen, all of which are -- with due respect -- very difficult, particularly for people not coming from an Eclipse or similar background. Once you have the confidence that comes with understanding your IDE, you can learn Clojure by playing and by reading idiomatic code. Until then, however, Clojure development can be VERY frustrating . Maybe this will all go away once we have better IDEs (LightTable, Session) full developed, but until then don't just "assume" that people understand the IDE.
