Euler.uberdoc. An invitation to FP for Clojure noobs | drcabana.org. I’ve heard newcomers to Clojure ask how to get started with functional programming. I believe that learning to program in the functional style is mostly a matter of practice. The newcomer needs to become familiar with a handful of higher order functions, and how they are used in common idioms. This can be done by practice with simple, well defined problems.
I assume that the prospective reader already has a grasp of the rudiments of Clojure, and can operate the Leiningen build tool. Here is what I propose. I have packaged the problems as a Leiningen project. What I recommend is deceptively simple. Here’s the important point: once you understand the solution, delete it and then reconstruct it. Here are a few things to avoid. Do not attempt to learn Clojure and new tooling, say Emacs+slime, at the same time. Don’t worry about parts of Clojure not immediately related to functional programming. The Project Euler problems do require a bit of math. The project repository is is available here.

Wizard Book n. Hal Abelson's, Jerry Sussman's and Julie Sussman's Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (MIT Press, 1984; ISBN 0-262-01077-1), an excellent computer science text used in introductory courses at MIT. So called because of the wizard on the jacket. One of the bibles of the LISP/Scheme world. Also, less commonly, known as the Purple Book. From The New Hacker's Dictionary, 2nd edition (MIT Press, 1993) This site is a companion to the influential computer-science text Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, by Abelson, Sussman, and Sussman.
