The Clojure standard library is a treasure trove of functions and macros that have been battle-tested over the years to solve the most challenging programming problems.



Clojure: The Essential Reference is an extensive reference to the standard library but it doesn't read as a dull list of functions. In addition to providing clear explanations for each topic, this guide is full of real-world examples, links, and background information.



Key Features

* An introduction including areas of application and main goals

* A more rigorous contract section, including parameters and return types

* Real world examples of the function in action

* Background and conceptual information necessary to better understand the function



For developers of all skill levels who need a thorough reference to Clojure standard library



About the technology

The standard library is one of the most important tools to master a language. One aspect that characterizes the standard library is the fact that it's already packaged with a language when you first experiment with it.
