I am a clojure intermediate-beginner who would like to use it to learn about web technologies, which I know almost nothing about. Would people recommend this as an entry point? If not what would you recommend instead?
I think it would be a bit too meta (and work in progress) to start with. Check out this article for standard Clojure (A Brief Overview of the Clojure Web Stack): http://brehaut.net/blog/2011/ring_introduction
I have been tinkering with Clojure off and on for the past year, and I only recently have started with Clojure's web technologies.
Currently the documentation is a mess. I've slowely been learning by looking at very basic examples, and then needing to read source code to fill in the details for the stuff I wanted to do.
While there's a great deal of excitment for ClojureScript, I feel that it as an entry point (at least for me) wouldn't have enough docs for me to learn quick enough so I wouldn't become frustrated. YMMV, of course, but I think you'd be better off looking at Compojure or Moustache, Enlive or Hiccup, and Ring , or even Noir: www.webnoir.com
