It offers broad library support and runs on multiple operating systems.</span></p><ul><li><span style="color: rgb(255,0,0);"><strong>Session One - Getting Started</strong></span><ul><li><strong>Why should I care or learn this?</strong><br><strong><img class="confluence-embedded-image" src="/wiki/download/attachments/87655298/images.jpg?version=2&modificationDate=1401312927952&api=v2" data-image-src="/wiki/download/attachments/87655298/images.jpg?version=2&modificationDate=1401312927952&api=v2"></strong></li></ul></li></ul><p><span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);">I have discovered what I like the most about Clojure is that it brings together the best of what many languages have to offer while not forcing it all upon me and, in doing so, has provided a good balance between power and flexibility. </span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);"> </span><strong><strong>Motivation For Learning Lisp/Clojure: <a href="http://www.paulgraham.com/avg.html" class="external-link" rel="nofollow">Beating The Averages by Paul Graham</a><a href="http://www.paulgraham.com/avg.html" class="external-link" rel="nofollow"> </a></strong></strong></p><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;background-image: none;"><ul><li><strong>Featured Project -
