An open source book about ClojureScript
An open source ClojureScript book. Read an HTML version here.
If you found this book useful, consider sponsoring my work on it.
This books aims to serve as: - A comprehensive introduction to the ClojureScript language and its idiomatic usage, assuming no previous experience with Clojure or functional programming; - a detailed guide of the ClojureScript compiler and the tooling around it; and - a mixed bag of topics that are useful in day-to-day ClojureScript programming.
As such, it is divided into three main sections: Language, Tooling & Compiler, and Mixed Bag.

General note:
At this moment, we do not have plans to accept new chapters until the the basic book structure is finished. This is not because we don't want to, but because it's very difficult to handle that at this stage of the book. That being said, proposals are very welcome.
The book is written using asciidoctor, so you should install the last version of asciidoctor using your package manager. The asciidoctor is responsible of the generation of the online html format. So if you are happy with a local copy in html format, this is a unique dependency that you need.
This is a command for generate the html:
make html chromium dist/index.html
If you want to generate a pdf. Some additional depencies are needed. For this process we are using fopub tool (included in the repo) that requires the JDK 7 or 8.
For generate pdf, having jdk installed, execute this:
make git make pdf # This will generate dist/clojurescript-unraveled.pdf
And finally, if you want to generate epub or mobi, you should install
calibreand
docbook-xslusing the package manager of you distribution. Once you have this installed, execute the following commands:
make epub make mobi
In order to build the pdf on OS X, please follow the notes on this issue.
