Clojure From the Ground Up http://aphyr.com/tags/Clojure-from-the-ground-up is a good resource, and there's also my own Clojure for the Brave and True http://www.braveclojure.com/ . I actually started by going through "Land of Lisp" first. Though it covers common lisp, not Clojure, it's a very fun book. edit: Realm of Racket is also a good lisp book, and a lot of people like "the little schemer". It's hard for me to say how good these are for people completely new to programming, though. Finally, there's the ClojureBridge curriculum, which is targeted at new programmers: https://github.com/ClojureBridge/curriculum

Books - any of the intro Clojure books, they're all good. I prefer the OReilly one but I think it's really a matter of preferred style. Online - Clojure for the Brave and True, Clojure From the Ground Up are great series. Or try the ClojureBridge curriculum https://github.com/ClojureBridge/curriculum. Practice problems - 4clojure, exercism.io, clojure koans Editors - if you want to focus on Clojure not an editor, I'd suggest Nightcode or Light Table. If you like IDEs I'd recommend IntelliJ w/ Cursive or Eclipse Counterclockwise. If you already use Emacs, use CIDER. If you already use Vim, use Fireplace.
