Description
Clojure is a dynamic functional programming language designed to be as approachable as scripting languages, yet harness the power of multi-core machines in the manner of more cryptic languages such as Erlang. In this course, Clojure expert Phil Hagelberg walks through the stages of building a multi-user text adventure game (code available). It's the perfect project to learn about the basics of Clojure while having a fun time doing it, too.
