This tutorial has moved to the book site for Learn ClojureScript:

For the past 2 years or so, I have been writing predominantly JavaScript. While I have mixed feelings on JavaScript as a language, the ecosystem is both awesome and utterly terrifying. There are so many options for every aspect of development and tooling that the choices can be paralyzing. The glut of options for, well, everything has caused me to focus more on deciding which technologies I really want to learn and for which ones I can be content in my ignorance.

Drum roll, please… After more than a year, I finally have some time to pick up this blog series on creating RESTful data APIs with Clojure. It is amazing to me how much the Clojure ecosystem has changed (for the better) even in the past year. One of these changes has been the release of the the Buddy security library Okay, it has been around for over a year, but in the past few months or so, Buddy has become the de-facto library for Clojure web app security.

This tutorial is the second in a series on building a RESTful web service in Clojure. In the first tutorial, we set up a development environment using Puppet and Vagrant, and we created a skeleton Leiningen project. With all of the prerequisites taken care of, now it’s time to get our hands dirty with some code!
