Thank you Mars0i!! I have a first edition copy of JOC and really like the way it just lays things out for you. I am hesitating to buy the 2nd edition, though, due to the hefty price-tag, though I am curious about logic programming and data. Would you say it is worth the money?
I am now reading the 7 concurrency models in 7 weeks beta version (recommended by Alex Ott, above) and am finding it thoroughly enjoyable. It masquerades as language agnostic, but the first half is virtually a Clojure book in the way it introduces Java's concurrency solutions (or lack thereof), priming you for the subsequent chapters that go into Clojure's primitives, core.async, and even Clojurescript. There is a chapter on actors, using Elixir, and then the latter half gets more general talking about how concurrency relates to big data and Hadoop, using Java. In general, I think all of the information is pertinent for a Clojure programmer who wants to become more well-rounded on the subject.
