Wow. There'll definitely need to be some translation before I understand everything, but you're absolutely right - this tutorial is one of the best I've ever seen.
Thank you for sharing it!

As the current maintainer of clojure-doc.org, I'd be happy to hear your feedback on what needs additional explanation/clarification.
This year's funding by Clojurists Together allowed me to spend a lot of time completely rewriting large sections of the site to bring it up-to-date with modern Clojure tooling and libraries -- but I know there's still room for improvement.

Just seeing this now. Very busy with work at the moment to dive into learning a new language/paradigm, but I will honestly set a reminder to check in with you in a few months after I've dug into it some and I'll be sure to take notes with this in mind throughout.
I love the idea of a community investing in this type of outreach (beginner oriented) and I'll be happy to contribute when I can.
However, if you just want to get started and have a minimal thing working without much fuss I recommend this one:
https://clojure-doc.org/articles/tutorials/basic_web_develop...
I haven't directly used it but I reviewed it once and it seems to be one of the most straight forward and carefully written web development tutorials for Clojure. It uses a very minimal set of libraries and it really goes from A to Z. Perfect if you want to just get yourself familiar and have something working.
