Learning never exhausts the mind: Getting started with Clojure

In this section, the main focus is on the workflow - how to create, run, test, ship a project.

Look into the workflow and general project mgmt with Leinigen
To create a new project -> lein new test_proj
To see what has been created, cd into the directory "test_proj". You'd see project.clj and 2 directories - src and test. project.clj contains the configuration of the project
When you open the file, you'd see that it contains clojure syntax, a list (defproject ....) which has dependencies, version information ..etc.
"lein deps" downloads dependencies to local machine
Go into core.clj within src/test_proj folder

if you define a main function, we can run the project from command line using "lein run" command

Before doing lein run, you'd need to modify project.clj to indicate where the main function is. e.g ":main test_proj.core"
You can run lein repl and redefine the function
Tests are defined in test/test_proj/test folder. Look for core.clj file in this folder.
Test can be run using lein test
How to ship a clojure project

add :gen-class to the namespace declaration in core.clj in src folder
lein uberjar creates a jar that is executable in standalone which can be run using java - jar <our jar>
