For Clojure, this is a good place to start: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Learning_Clojure

I also like the lengthier, but most excellent, tutorial by Mark Volkmann: http://java.ociweb.com/mark/clojure/article.html

Project Euler worked well for me as warm-up exercises. And I just found a Wiki of Project Euler solutions in Clojure: http://clojure-euler.wikispaces.com/

Fantastic, thanks. Especially the project Euler idea, I was under the impression that they were Python-specific problems (in retrospect, I have no idea why I ever thought that).

You may be thinking of the Python Challenge; I could see them being mentioned together when someone asks for programming puzzle sites.

Probably, yes. It's one of those things you never realise are wrong until you think about them.

+1 Mark Volkmann's tutorial. That's what got me started on learning Clojure. Of course, once I'd gone through that, I still waded through this book and got a lot of value from it:

http://pragprog.com/titles/shcloj/programming-clojure (which was current at the time that I read it but might be a bit out of date by now since I think it covers Clojure 1.1)

Yep, I've saved that tutorial and am reading it, it looks comprehensive and on one page. I'll have a look at the book too, thanks.
