The CIDER "Tour" Project
In our tour of CIDER we will be working with a Clojure project created for this presentation called "cider-tour". The project resides in the code/clj/cider-tour/ directory within the GitHub repo that you cloned.
FYI
The base directory structure and initial files for the cider-tour project were generated by running the
leincommand to generate a Leiningen project from the standard application template:
$ lein new app cider-tour
The project.clj file
In Emacs open the project.clj file for the cider-tour project. This is the Leiningen project file (similar to a Maven POM file) that defines the project configuration (dependencies, plugins, build profiles, etc.) Below is a screenshot of the cider-tour project.clj file:

The cider-tour project has a dependency on Clojure 1.8.0. Like Maven and similar build automation tools, Leiningen auto-downloads project dependencies on first-use.
Project Directory Structure
Below is a screenshot of the project files generated by Leiningen with brief descriptions:
