Learning Clojure in Public

I am using this repository along with my personal blog and Twitter to act as a public record of my progress.

Starting June 22nd 2020, I will be beginning my Clojure journey anew with ClojureFam’s 4th Cohort. I have high hopes that I will be able to engage constructively with my fellow learners and that being held publicly accountable to the standards I’ve set for myself will be a locus of motivation.

Repo Structure

You can find all the code under the code folder.

code
├── katas           Solutions to 4Clojure & other challenge problems
├── clojure-noob    Code for Brave and True Clojure
└── ground-up       Code for Ground and Up Clojure

The cheatsheets folder contains cheatsheets for Emacs and Clojure

Expectations

• Daily post/tweets about what I’ve learned.
• Complete Clojure from the Ground Up
• Complete the excellent Clojure for the Brave and True book
• Finish at-least 50 Clojure exercises on 4Clojure.com
• Making at-least 3 commits/pull requests to Athen’s Research Open Source Repo
• Learn DataLog
