Learn Cloiure using Interactive Programming

Welcome to a zero-install, interactive, guide to get you started with Clojure using:

• Clojure
• Gitpod (A development environment delivered via the web browser)
• VS Code (Or Gitpod Code, actually. In your web browser.)
• Calva (A Clojure extension to VS Code. The thing this site is about.)
• Calva's Getting Started REPL

• The basics of the Clojure language (at least the start of the basics)
• The basics of the ClojureScript language (we won't be using ClojureScript, but it is same language )
• The basics of Calva (It's a bit as a side effect. You need it to learn Clojure this way, and by learning Clojure this way, Calva knowledge trickles in.)
• What is meant by, and some ways to perform, Interactive Programming (aka REPL Driven Development)
• Where to find Clojurians, i.e. folks who use Clojure and care about it (you will thus find help, the friendliest help you have ever seen a community provide)
