I'm actually getting fond of these single-point-of-entry for learning type of sites for a language. Along with the Prolog one that I saw here yesterday, I think they really make picking up a non-mainstream language a whole lot easier.
I remember when I was trying to start learning Common Lisp, I found it a little difficult for the lack of a resource similar to these. Eventually I stumbled upon PCL and LispBox and managed to take some baby steps. So kudos to the author.

I put together learn-clojure.com (the site in question), for exactly this reason.
There is endless technical information all over the web about any language with even the minor popularity; but when you're stepping in to learn a new language, a short ("curated" in the 2010 vernacular, ugh) list of the most relevant learning materials is much more useful than a reference site or a search with thousands of results.
