It's worth noting that the new Clojure Cookbook also has a chapter that
goes over the basics of Clojure web development.  If you already are quite
comfortable with Clojure and don't need to see a lot of extended examples,
the Cookbook chapter covers much of the same ground as the Clojure Web
Development book, albeit much more compactly.
