Would this be a good resource for learning Clojure for someone who's a rather inexperienced programmer? I remember looking at Leiningen a while back and being a little lost. I've heard really good things about Clojure and functional programming in general but I still have my programmer training wheels on.

Re: learning resources, I found the book "Clojure Programming" by Chas Emerick, Brian Carper, and Christophe Grand to be excellent.

After reading through that, the exercises at http://4clojure.com/ helped me to solidify things and learn what the core library has available. Work through a problem on your own and then check out how someone like 'immo' or 'jbear' did it.

Yeah I definitely made Nightcode with newbies in mind. Like I said before, it is half-baked and probably too buggy for normal use right now, but eventually I hope it serves as a good entryway for Clojure and Java programming.
