For what it's worth, I would like to see a codecademy.com type site but for 
Clojure that can take you from 0 to hero, in one place, with interactive tracks 
depending on subject (i.e. Web-Dev, core functions, key libraries, idioms, 
regex, encryption, etc.). Something like an interactive SICP to teach core 
programming concepts but using Clojure would be nice. 4clojure has cool 
problems but they don't teach you to program. 

The best resources I've utilized are "Clojure in Action" and "Web Development 
with Clojure". Clojure from the Ground up and Clojure for the Brave and true 
were also good. The problem with the books is that the libs/APIs you learn in 
the tutorials are often deprecated or abandoned by the community for the next 
hot thing, by the time you even pick them up. One, open source, Community 
maintained user friendly resource with "batteries included" would be awesome. 

By and large community support has been good for me and I am often assisted by 
the very dude who wrote the book I'm working through. How can I complain about 
that?  This is simply awesome and I hope that stays possible in the future. 

I would really like a mentor.  Any programs that provide this would make the 
Clojure community stand out as friendly and welcoming, compared to other 
languages. This is just my two cents. Hope it is useful.
