Thinking in C++ by Bruce Eckel is an excellent book

I just finished skimming through Bruce Eckel's Thinking in C++ book - available for free from his website.

Volume 1 covers the basics pretty well and I didn't really do much more than glance at it, but volume 2 is highly recommended for its marvelous treatment of the C++ STL containers and algorithms.

Programming Clojure with Clojure 1.2.0 snapshot

This post contains a list of changes between Clojure 1.1.0 and 1.2.0 that would affect you if you're reading Stuart Halloway's "Programming Clojure".

It looks like you'd have to replace,

(use '[clojure.contrib.str-utils :only (re-split)])
(filter indexable-word? (re-split #"\W+" "A fine day it is"))

with

(use '[clojure.contrib.string :only (split)])
(filter indexable-word? (split #"\W+" "A fine day it is"))

--> ("fine" "day")

since the str-utils module got renamed to string, and the re-split function to split.
