Course Overview
A Practical Introduction to Tooling, Development, and Deployment
In this Building Microservices with Clojure and Pedestal training course, expert author Scott Rehorn will teach you how to set up, modify, and deploy a basic microservice based on Clojure and Pedestal. This course is designed for users that already have programming experience.
You will start by learning about the stack and toolchain, then jump into using Pedestal. From there, Scott will teach you how to use Pedestal as a web services framework to handle request and response routing and content handling. This video tutorial also covers persistence, how to protect your endpoints with a simple API key strategy, and how to use XML in Clojure. Finally, you will learn about Java Interop.
Once you have completed this computer based training course, you will be fully capable of setting up, modifying, and deploying a microservice with Clojure and Pedestal.

To no fault of the author, the LightTable experience seems to have fizzled out of useful existence. I have not been able to find any solution online as to why it fails to bring up its own repl or connect to an external one. It's a nasty hurdle when starting the course and if you want to stay close to the source track but any other dev environment will suffice. I am very happy with the lecturer's clarity, conciseness and ability to expand the subject but stay on-track. At some points, though, it would have sped up my advance through the course if we were able to observe the data coming in for destructuring (as in {:keys [conn db]} (mg/connect-via-uri uri)) but I guess an experienced student would consider this redundant. So, thumbs up with the following caveats: either assist the course participants in solving the LightTable inoperability or at least make a note regarding it not being an option for newer macos setups so we don't lose several days at the very start of the course. Please update the course with notes regarding the changes introduced in pedestal's handling of interceptors as there is a new, preferred syntax being used.

O curso cumpre o que propõe, porém de forma mais informacional que didática, funciona como uma demonstração das principais funções e formas de proceder em situações especificas. Recomendo apenas para quem já tenha conhecimento prévio de clojure e queira agregar conhecimento sobre o framework pedestal e formas de utiliza-lo para construção de APIs.

The course is out of date with Pedestal; the json library was missing, and there are some students' doubts without an answer.

Lesson 15 jumps back all the time The Pedestal/Heroku (lessons 9 and 10) doesn't work - they've seem to be updated but since don't work together anymore He uses a JSON resource but he doesn't provide it. The lessons are video only, no resources available and not easy to type along/copy&paste Other students have asked questions, one of which exactly the same problem I ran into - all of the questions remain unanswered. NOT what I was hoping from Udemy - am going to request my money back
