Hi all, one of the authors here. If you'd like to buy the early access edition then Manning has a 50% off deal today with code dotd0314tw. You have to order it through their website, that can be accessed via <a href="http://www.joyofclojure.com/buy" rel="nofollow">http://www.joyofclojure.com/buy</a><p><i>even better apparently is the code joc2elaunch50 allowing discounts for a bunch of books</i>
I bought the E-Book for the last edition via Manning. Paying works fine, but accessing content has been a really crappy experience.<p>The book itself had the particularly annoying section 13 that caters to certain fads (DSLs and Java bashing, pseudo-philosophical musings about functional programming). I hope this juvenile drivel will be left out in the new edition; if I want to read content-less feel-good articles, there is no shortage of free content.<p>I remember that the sections on namespaces and destructuring have been really nice.
Great to see this updated for 1.5. Aside from that and some treatment of clojurescript, are there other updates from the first edition that might push a 1st edition owner to buy this one too?
More info on what will be new can be found at <a href="http://blog.fogus.me/2013/02/08/moar-joy/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.fogus.me/2013/02/08/moar-joy/</a> and <a href="http://www.joyofclojure.com/2nd" rel="nofollow">http://www.joyofclojure.com/2nd</a>
Anyone knows how this series compares to the also-recently-announced Clojure in Action - <a href="http://www.manning.com/rathore2/" rel="nofollow">http://www.manning.com/rathore2/</a><p>I mean compare the two clojure books wrt v1.
Just grabbed my copy of 2nd, already had a copy of the 1st edition which I loved, so excited to see the updates both in terms of changes for 1.5, the clojurescript stuff, and logic programming.<p>Happy times :)
