Learning Clojure in public in 5 weeks
Learning Clojure in Public
Note: My challenge is now over, you can read my thoughts on ClojureFam and my advice to new learners here.
I am challenging myself to learn Clojure in public. Starting on July 22nd, 2020 and for the next five weeks I will be learning Clojure in public and you can hold me accountable. I am committing the code I am writing to the ./code folder, and will also write daily posts detailing what I learned and what I did to learn it.
If you would like to read why I am doing this, read the introduction.
When I announced this on Twitter I got an interesting suggestion:
So here it goes: if I miss a day, you will be able ask me to send you $5 (Venmo or PayPal preferred). If by the next morning (I often work late) I have not updated this repository with the previous' day's progress you can claim it by reaching out to me on Twitter. There is a limit of five people per missed post.
