Clojure for Java Developers - looking for some feedback

Learning Resources

I did this set of slides a while ago to be part of a number of tutorials for Java developers.

Would love to get some feedback!
Thanks,
Jochen

Nice work! This is an incredibly dense amount of information to try to convey, and I like the way you are doing it. I saw just a couple of things that might cause confusion.

  • In your “Statements / Still: Just Expressions” slide you refer to def as ”top level bindings” and let as “local bindings”. They are really fundamentally different things which probably merit a bit more distinction.

  • In the first “Interoperability” slide you declare the plus field to hold a reference to the Clojure * function, I think you meant to call it times.

And do you think there is really much hope of anyone grokking “Multimethods 2” on a first reading? Fun stuff, sure, but overwhelming early… I guess as long as you mention it as “something cool to dig into once you’re ready.”

Thank you so much for your feedback and taking the time to go through the slides.
Yes, it’s a lot to take in and there are definitely some bonus slides I should shuffle around.
