Intermediate curriculum

[bridgethillyer]

Workshops that target current programmers or workshops where there are repeat attendees need a second curriculum that covers more than the basic concepts in the current curriculum.

Would be great to get some examples of what's cool about Clojure in the new curriculum.

Minneapolis (and other workshops?) have other curricula. Someone should chat with them about what worked.

Just an FYI, for anyone else who comes across this open issue, you can also check out the Minneapolis ClojureBridge curriculum here: https://github.com/clojurebridge-minneapolis

I was thinking about this and if someone asked me for more exercises my first instinct would be to point them to some katas like https://github.com/marshallshen/clojure-katas or https://github.com/gigasquid/wonderland-clojure-katas. These might also be good inspiration for more curricula.

@danevans I think the regular clojure-katas are a little too math-y to use the curriculum, itself, but @gigaquid's Wonderland problems are really lovely! 💖

Also, FYI, I'll be forking https://github.com/cognitect/clojure-lab and morphing that into something resembling intermediate and advanced curricula--since I've now used it for something, and I know how long each section takes, which problems and explanations would need changing for ClojureBridge, etc.

Whether we actually use the thing I make is, of course, up for debate. Hahaha.
