Learn how to extend Clojure using macros
Have you ever wanted a language that adapts to your software? Have you ever wanted to eliminate boilerplate? What about extend the syntax without changing the compiler? Those are what macros let you do.
If you've ever wanted to learn Clojure macros, this course is the place to start. This course jumps right into macros with gusto. It starts with the key to understanding macros, takes you through the implementation of 6 progressively more complex macros, and finishes with the three reasons you need macros.

We tend to code using patterns that we repeat a lot. Learning these patterns can help you level up your macro skills very quickly. This reference sheet contains six annotated patterns that Clojure programmers use all the time.
Have you ever wondered what the symbols in Clojure macros do? I’m talking about `, ~, ~@, etc. This handy reference sheet tells you what they all do, when to use it, and shows examples. Never get lost in a macro again!
When we’re developing macros, it really helps to be able to see what code it will output. Fortunately, Clojure comes with three built-in functions for doing just that. They are so useful for debugging. This reference sheet shows what each one does. It also includes how to access macroexpansion in the three most popular Clojure IDEs.
