Thanks for the reply. If you don't mind one quick last question - can I ask which books you used? The only half-decent one I've found is Clojure In Action.

We have quite a few floating around but here are the main ones.

- Joy of Clojure. I think a lot of people would say this was their favourite. It's less about learning Clojure and more about loving and writing good Clojure.

- Clojure Programming. There are mixed review on this one but I quite liked it as a reference book early on.

- Programming Clojure - Similar to Clojure Programming. Pretty good.

Thinking about it a lot of people also spent some time working through the 4Clojure exercises.

Personally I found that the only way to really get it was to jump in. We have a few early services that could perhaps do with a re-write but no real harm was done!

Clojure Programming by Chas Emerick, Christophe Grand, and Brian Carper is really good in my opinion. I'm coming to Clojure from Ruby and I've found this book to be most approachable.
