The book is great and has a lot of useful information. Dmitry, also known as "yogthos" online, is very active in Clojure community and very helpful.I would rate the book 5 stars but I can't. The author did a great job, no doubt about it, but Clojure web development is a bit hectic at the moment. I had to take a star off because I wish the book covered more technologies. There is just too much going on in Clojure, there is no single accepted way to develop web apps. Ruby, for example, has Rails and this is pretty much a defacto stack for the language. Clojure on the other hand has many different libraries and "no one true" web framework (Arachne is upcoming and we don't know much about it yet).Dmitry focuses on Reagent for the front end, and he makes some safe choices for a back end (Postgres). But if we look around available web tools for Clojure then we'll see many many different technologies. Ask anybody who is using Clojure in production and chances are they all will have different tools. There is OM, Reagent, Rum, Hoplon, etc. Many templating languages. Various databases, including unique Datomic. And there are many ways to build an app in Clojure/ClojureScript.So this is what I am getting at. Dmitry shows you how to build an app one way, his way, based on Luminus (the tool he wrote). But I am not saying that it's wrong in anyway, I just wish the book covered more technologies, that way a reader could choose what he likes best. And there are a lot of good and interesting stacks right now. Of course author couldn't explain everything in detail, it's not his fault, web development in Clojure has no unity and there is a lot going on. But here's the thing, if we had a book that covers most popular web stacks then it would be a 5 star.
