Web Development with Clojure: Build Bulletproof Web Apps with Less Code Review: This is both a good Clojure book, and an good developer book. - I have been developing with Clojure for a few years now. Most of the books I have read are focused on learning the language. This one is not an introduction to Clojure, but I still learned about the language when reading it and doing projects with what I have learned. It is more of an applied book. It gives you enough to get your feet wet and be productive, but it also gives you a lot of future areas of research and learning about the language and how it can be used effectively. What I really like is that Clojure and the tools and frameworks are so expressive that I can get useful projects completed in very few lines of code. Small enough that you can get your head around whole pieces of functionality. Something that might take several classes, and several pages of code in Java can be completed in Clojure in one to two pages of code. Review: Current edition is too out of date - This was probably a decent book but unfortunately, it is already out of date a mere three years after publishing. So far I'm barely into Chapter 1 and nothing works. Clojure has changed too much since this book was written for it to be useful. UPDATE: I've updated to three stars because I feel like this was a quality book that got caught in the common trap of being about technology that is rapidly changing. I've found out that the authors are working on another edition due out in the next 6-9 months so if you're interested in the book, you might want to wait for that next edition to be released. In the mean time, you can try out the Luminus micro-framework tutorials on that project's web site. I found it to be similar to what is covered in the first chapter of this book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 1680500821 | | Best Sellers Rank | #8,018,956 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #155 in Lisp Programming #446 in Functional Software Programming #10,462 in Web Development & Design Programming | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (14) | | Dimensions | 7.5 x 0.75 x 9 inches | | Edition | 2nd | | ISBN-10 | 9781680500820 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1680500820 | | Item Weight | 1.22 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 308 pages | | Publication date | August 23, 2016 | | Publisher | Pragmatic Bookshelf | ## Images ![Web Development with Clojure: Build Bulletproof Web Apps with Less Code - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91qH+dma6XL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is both a good Clojure book, and an good developer book. *by C***R on February 18, 2019* I have been developing with Clojure for a few years now.

You should already have some notion on Clojure and web development to get the most out of this book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/37923195-web-development-with-clojure-build-bulletproof-web-apps-with-less](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/37923195-web-development-with-clojure-build-bulletproof-web-apps-with-less) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
