ClojureCompetancies

gistfile1.txt

I did a lot of my initial learning with https://www.4clojure.com/problems

The Joy of Clojure book is a great reference.

A nice basic tutorial on how to use common macros:
http://cjohansen.no/clojure-to-die-for

I still spend a lot of time on:
http://clojuredocs.org/quickref/Clojure%20Core to get an overview of
the functions that exist and examples using them.

For the interview, here is a list of basic competencies that we will
rely on for clojure, so that you can focus your studying:

defining the following:
- variables
- map literals
- vector literals
- named functions

basic arithmetic
logic (and/or/not)
calling functions

control flow:
- if
- when
- do

working with seqs:
- seq
- empty?
- map
- filter
- first
- rest
- conj

working with maps:
- get
- get-in
- assoc
- dissoc

reference types:
- atom
- swap!
- reset!


Topics that we will explicitly NOT be using (and it is safe to ignore
for the purposes of the interview):

user defined types:
- protocols
- records
- deftypes
- defmethods

fancy concurrency:
 - refs and STM
 - agents

working with metadata and defining new macros
