I'm a little past the absolute-newb stage (also came from .NET), but I
recently came upon *Programming in Clojure* by Mark McDonnell
(https://leanpub.com/programming-clojure/), and appreciated how succinct,
clear and yet (relatively) comprehensive it is. I'd recommend it highly as
a first text
One language detail that took me a while to get the hang of at first was
destructuring (fm args, let blocks, etc.) I had never encountered anything like
it before in other languages and it took me a while to memorize all the
different variations. It is awesome powerful but alien at first.

I try to get my hands on as many resources from the above as possible. I
often found some (generally more advanced) works not to dwelve enough into
some intricate, but essential, topics which were better covered in other

Many people say that the *Joy of Clojure* is best for fine details and all
that, and there's something right about that claim. However, *Clojure
Programming* covers some fine details that *Joy *doesn't even mention, even
in the 2nd edition (e.g. important aspects of Java interop). I suspect

All the above suggestions are good. In addition, I've learned a lot by
doing the problems at 4clojure.com.
BUT after you solve a problem, the real learning starts. You then get
access to other people's solutions. (You get to choose whose answers get
listed, and some of the best programmers are

This was a great resource to me, as were the other LispCast videos. I found
them easy to follow, and really helped me think about things from first

A coworker of mine asked me for suggestions yesterday after starting
directly with Joy of Clojure as if it were an intro text for himself and
getting lost after getting halfway through. Even though this coworker of
mine is pretty experienced over many years -- and has programmed in C++,
Java, Pyth
Learning Clojure is not so much about learning the language's features,
it's about learning how Clojure's particular combination of features causes
you to think about software development in a new way. Living Clojure is a
new-ish book that points you at a number of small programming "code kata"

In my opinion the best book for the 'fine details' of the language is going
to be http://www.joyofclojure.com/ . It's not usually recommended as the
introductory text, for that you might be better off with clojure
programming: http://www.clojurebook.com/ or 'programming clojure':
