Very comprehensive, although I feel that some mention of gcv's appengine-magic is called for, since deploying to Google App Engine is a very attractive prospect for a Clojure web project. https://github.com/gcv/appengine-magic. It's excellent, my web site is based on it.

Great article. It's too bad the code samples weren't syntax highlighted; I had a hard time following along in monochrome and ended up just skimming most of the code.

I'll look into fixing then. Do you have any suggestions for good syntax highlighting to use from either clojure or javascript?

technomancy2• 15 years ago

Lots of people like to use embedded gists which seem to work fine, but I use http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Htmlize from Emacs.

I'd look at possibly using Google code's "Prettify". It lists both Clojure and Common Lisp as supported languages and is dead simple to use. http://code.google.com/p/google-code-prettify/

There was a thread on this subject in the clojure google group:

http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/browse_thread/thread/...

It's a bit of a sidetrack but you can use the same javascript library from both sides :

If you can - could you elaborate some more on DB interaction from Clojure. For example I dont completely understand There are no SQL/Relational DB ORMs for Clojure for obvious reasons. I particularly also ask this, because most Clojure web tutorials are written with GAE or NOSQL in mind.

This needs to be a prominent part of any major clojure web tutorial. Most tutorials are horrible and already assume a basic understanding as outlined here.

Fantastic writeup.
