I was referring the cheasheet and I did not get the actual use of var and when to use it, Can anyone help me in this

@popeyepwr are you saying you're trying to use the var function, or that you don't understand what a var is?

popeye 2021-02-28T10:01:04.493200Z

@slgeorge did not understood var

@popeyepwr So far I haven't needed to understand much about symbols/vars. What I understand is that a 'symbol' is the name I give to a "variable" (using def). In Clojure speak I'm actually "binding" a symbol to a memory location which is what a Var is. So technically a Var cannot change (it is immutable). We can actually re-bind a Symbol to a different Var - so when playing in the repl I do this - but generally you should not. Here's where I got this from: http://www.creativeapplications.net/tutorials/introduction-to-clojure-part-1/#sec6

clojure.lang.Var is in fact a reference type (it is not immutable, the root binding can change and there can be separate thread-local bindings) https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/jvm/clojure/lang/Var.java#L20

Hey everyone! Earlier this week I talked about developing web apps using ClojureScript together with Reagent, Hiccup and re-frame at the Func Prog Sweden second 2021 meetup (online). πŸ˜… I hope you don’t mind me posting the video here. If you are a beginner (and/or new to developing web apps with Clojure), the talk might be helpful. Let me know what you think! I would be very happy receiving feedback from you: https://youtu.be/SVouy-Zd-_g

Thanks @slgeorge for your inputs

Hi all, please suggest a good tutorial for learning Clojure (preferable on Udemy)

@cjpangilinan - I’ll check that one out. Thanks for the tip! I’d not seen that one before.

Hi @vnazaryan - Just my opinion, but I did not find the Udemy courses about Clojure were very good. There was once a pretty good course on http://Lynda.com but it went away. 😞

Scott Starkey 2021-02-28T16:05:43.005400Z

I guess the Udemy courses were worth the $10 I spent on sale. :-D

Karo 2021-02-28T16:23:16.005600Z

@scotto thanks

borkdude 2021-02-28T21:04:19.011Z

@david043 #news-and-articles is also a good place to post these videos

2021-02-28T22:25:33.011700Z

Thank you, I’ll do that!
