!! Overview
This is an online study group dedicated to learning the Clojure language. The target audience is people who have done some programming in other languages and want to learn Clojure.
-The study group will meet online for one hour every other week. The meeting schedule / time is still being worked out, but it
will be something like
9pm Pacific
time.

-During each session, we
will each
take turns displaying /
writing up our answers interactively

code editing tool

+We
will meet on a google hangout so everyone can
take turns sharing their screens and
writing code

code.
The idea is that by writing and explaining your code to others, you will develop a deeper understanding of how everything works.

+
+Don't be an asshole. This is a respectful and supportive environment. We are all here to learn together. We will not tolerate any sort of discrimination or harassment. Violators are subject to being kicked out of the study group.

+I don't think anyone is actually going to do any of these things, but I want to make it clear from the outset what kind of behavior is expected from everyone.
!! Other Thoughts
I participated in a Scala study group session at work that used this format, and it seemed to work well (although I learned I really disliked Scala).
The idea here is to have fun and learn something interesting. If we are all working toward a common goal we can support each other.
