Chris, Sean:
No Clojure dojos here but I'll be moving camp soon and will likely
start one myself. I'd like to hear what structure of dojo meetings
have people used with success? Is it more or less like this:

?

Thanks Sean. I'll honor the Contributor's Agreement when time comes
for me to introduce some brilliant feature to Clojure core :-)

FYI, the guy who used to run the London Clojure dojo - Toby Clemson -
is now
Are there any Clojure dojos near where you live? We have a monthly one in
London, which is a great way for people of different experience levels to
come together.

This might not sound glamorous, but reading books, and reading great code,
and code reviews is a great way to get up to speed. The explanations found
in the Joy of Clojure, and other books have been highly edited and refined;

Hi David,-
thanks for the feedback. To jump in and start augmenting non-trivial
Clojure code sounds like a serious task. I think the prerequisite for
that would be to be able to read and write trivial Clojure code, which
is where I'm at right now!
But I'll definitely study the libraries you propo
James,
Another way - I would recommend contributing to one of the Clojure contrib
libraries or an open source Clojure project. It's a great way to
familiarize yourself with non-trivial Clojure code, get feedback and offer
something up to the community.
You'll definitely get feedback from me if yo
PS. My last post wasn't clearly formulated, so let me re-phrase that:
I think that paying clojure/core to pair up is a perfectly legit
solution if one wants to jump ahead of the curve. My point was that I
wish the "sweeping the dojo" model was more widespread (one does

Hi Jay,-
I agree, paying to sweep someone's dojo does sound a bit strong.

James,
For learning, I'd recommend 4clojure.com and compare your solutions with
solutions submitted by other people. Also, if you have the cash, you could
pay clojure/core to pair with you. Unfortunately, I've never heard of
anyone doing that kind of thing as a mutually beneficial situation - (you
When a new technology (a programming language) comes out, initially
there are very few people who are really proficient in it. One can
learn by one's own, but tremendous learning acceleration can be gained
if one pairs with more experienced devs than oneself.
So I'd like to ask: is there any place
