Building Microservices with Clojure (Udemy.com)

To no fault of the author, the LightTable experience seems to have fizzled out of useful existence. I have not been able to find any solution online as to why it fails to bring up its own repl or connect to an external one. It's a nasty hurdle when starting the course and if you want to stay close to the source track but any other dev environment will suffice. I am very happy with the lecturer's clarity, conciseness and ability to expand the subject but stay on-track. At some points, though, it would have sped up my advance through the course if we were able to observe the data coming in for destructuring (as in {:keys [conn db]} (mg/connect-via-uri uri)) but I guess an experienced student would consider this redundant. So, thumbs up with the following caveats: either assist the course participants in solving the LightTable inoperability or at least make a note regarding it not being an option for newer macos setups so we don't lose several days at the very start of the course. Please update the course with notes regarding the changes introduced in pedestal's handling of interceptors as there is a new, preferred syntax being used.

O curso cumpre o que propõe, porém de forma mais informacional que didática, funciona como uma demonstração das principais funções e formas de proceder em situações especificas. Recomendo apenas para quem já tenha conhecimento prévio de clojure e queira agregar conhecimento sobre o framework pedestal e formas de utiliza-lo para construção de APIs.

The course is out of date with Pedestal; the json library was missing, and there are some students' doubts without an answer.

The course is very good overall, with good well-explained and applicable content, although it's somewhat outdated and not everything works out-of-the-box as shown in the videos.

The course is outdated, also it recommends using compose.io, wich askes you too insert billing information uppon account creation (it is free), but I think some alternatives could be mentioned and some guides could be shown as external resources.

Well presented and useful content. Could be improved with more emphasis and depth on securing the API and less on XML (IMHO). However well worth it and hope the instructor creates more Clojure courses.

excellent course. It runs fast but is always understandable and focus on technologies actually works in the market. I'm really enjoying it and learning good stuff too.

Very practical and straightforward course to get you started with Microservices.

Concise and complete guide to clojure microservice.

Excellent and informative course. As described the focus is on building rather with Clojure rather than abstract examples.
