Still. For a couple of days of "just learning the language" I'm ready to come all the way from Italy.

; )

Anyway, a few suggestions: - Clojure for Processing large amount of data (MapReduce); - Clojure for Web Development; - Clojure for When Other Languages Are Simply Not Enough(tm).

Cannot wait. I especially like the fact that there will also be training days: being still a "new" language I believe it's nice to make it more appealing for new people.
