Teaching Clojure Together
summary
A community-run learning program applies cognitive psychology and instructional design to Clojure teaching, running office hours, weekly mob-programming sessions (4–10 participants), and group coding; it builds a topic map of hundreds of topics, an exercise library with faded problems, and a peer-to-peer pairing tool for scheduled one-on-one practice. Results so far: 200+ members, 300+ event hours this year, several hundred paired sessions coordinated, and three campers brought to last year’s conference who now work as full-time developers.
