A draft of a book for learning to program, slanted towards Clojure

Primary LanguageClojure

A Beginner’s Programming Guide

Purpose

I’ve been wanting to help some beginners out in learning programming, and I realized it would be easier if I just typed up my thoughts in more of a book form, so that I could add exercises which could be done on a branch. This makes it easy to help a beginner self-direct their own learning a bit, while also being able to play with the concepts as they go, and have a common place where they can commit and push their own work for feedback.

It also gives the beginner some experience using Git and IDE tooling.
