ClojureScript Up and Running

Learn how to build complete client-side applications with ClojureScript, the Clojure language variant that compiles to optimized jаvascript. This hands-on introduction shows you how ClojureScript not only has similarities to jаvascript—without the flaws—but also supports the full semantics of its parent language. You'll delve into ClojureScript's immutable data structures, lazy sequences, first-class functions, macros, and support for jаvascript libraries.
No previous experience with Clojure or ClojureScript is necessary. If you're familiar with jаvascript, HTML, CSS, and the DOM, you'll quickly discover that ClojureScript has the same reach as jаvascript, but with more power.
