The site does does not have any "learning" material at all. The material on the existing site is intended to be authoritative reference material, written by Rich (or in a few cases me).
We will add more learning / getting started material - this is definitely the biggest gap in the existing site (although things like Clojure for the Brave and True are great alternatives). We actually have a body of work in this area already and I will be integrating it as I have time to.
