I've always been a huge fan of Algorithms, (I was a TA in college for the course). All of the algorithms in our course were imperative. I'm interested to see how Clojure approaches those in a way that's idiomatic to Clojure.
This looks cool. I started going through _Algorithms in C_[0] a while back and implementing things in Clojure to gain some experience. This book looks like it does something similar, but does it idiomatically from the get-go.
This looks interesting, I'm hoping it's not completely introductory like 'Living Clojure' (takeaway: don't trust amazon reviews). Is there any early draft discount? Like Manning's MEAP?
I picked it up, and am quite excited so far. The algorithms are much more varied and interesting than normal fare for an A&D book.
The book I want to read today is "Data Science with Clojure" updated to use Ashley Madison data-sets.
Its a MySQL dump.
Surely SQL would be the first choice for analysis on them.
I stand corrected. It will be an update to Joe Celko's "SQL for smarties": "SQL for voyeurs"
Even comes with a free flash stick containing the entire data dump.
