Re: Clojure as a first programming language?

Just want to second everyone pointing to SICP. A better in-depth introduction to programming has yet to grace my desk.There are also video lectures available on line: http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/classes/6.001/abelson-sussman-lectures/ If this material had been so readily available in t

Re: Clojure as a first programming language?

Hi, I don't post here much and so you may see that as a reason to discount what I say. Infact that would probably be a good plan. I generally talk a load of twaddle. With those caveats firmly in mind here's my tuppence worth. I'd hate to think your first language is defining as you suggest

Re: Thanks for Clojure

eekend changing over some Qt-Jambi based code to use the new (:gen-class) stuff - and whilst it was a lot of work I had an immense amount of fun. I guess it's a question of presenting me with the right kind of problems, but still, it's an awful lot of fun. -- Geoffrey Teale Freelance Sof
