Hello,

Im now learning clojure by doing the exercism.io challenges.
But I wonder what is the best way to learn web development with clojure for free.

Clojure Guides: Basic Web Development (clojure-doc.org) provides a step-by-step guide to get a simple server-side app up, backed by a database.

Another free resource is Practicalli Clojure Web Services - Practicalli Clojure Web Services

Although I am doing a rewrite of this book and migrating most project examples to Reitit

The :practicalli/service template from Practicalli Project Templates creates a working web service with an API using Reitit and Swagger

https://kit-clj.github.io/ also provides some interesting variations on project templates for a web app

@RoelofWobben Reitit is high on the very long Todo list for Practicalli

I will endeavour to complete one project using Reitit this week, a Clojure API with example routes, OpenAPI (swagger) interactive docs, a custom ring middleware for tracing logs.

A complete example of the working code can already be generated via Practicalli Project Templates, using the practicalli/service template with deps-new

Updates to Practicalli content are posted in the #practicalli channel on the Clojurians Slack community and the Practicalli Journal
