Is there a good online course for a beginning programmer who wants to learn Clojure? If not, a good book with exercises?
Bookwise, I thought the following were pretty good: 'Clojure in Action' by Amit Rathore and 'Clojure Programming' by Chas Emerick are both solid intro Clojure books. 'Web Development with Clojure' by Dmitri Sotnikov is also a great book, which obviously comes with more of a web-slant.
And I'd give a second thumbs up for 'Clojure for the Brave and True'.
