####Hint::How much you discover is how much you were supposed to discover There is more content here than anyone can cover in a day, so however far you get is the right amount of progress for you.
If you enjoy the day you can of course continue with any topics and challenges you didn't get to as follow-on exercises.
We also welcome you to come along to the London Clojurian community events
