Hello,
Im now learning clojure by doing the [exercism.io](http://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)](https://clojure-doc.org/articles/tutorials/basic_web_development/) 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](https://practical.li/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](https://practical.li/clojure/clojure-cli/projects/templates/practicalli/) creates a working web service with an API using Reitit and Swagger
[https://kit-clj.github.io/](https://kit-clj.github.io/) also provides some interesting variations on project templates for a web app

Any idea when the book rewrite to reitit is ready ?

@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](https://practical.li/journal/)
