I am also a beginner. I don’t have much experience with web development (I am an undergraduate Applied Math student with a deep interest on computer science). If you don’t mind, I would you suggest you to change your approach to learning Lisp. Get the classic freely available SICP book (from MIT professors) and do some exercises. The classes are also available at MIT OCW. Another good book is “How to Design Computer Programs”, from the guys who created Racket, a Lisp dialect. Maybe, these books will give you a purer sense of the language. Web frameworks are a different thing. In conclusion, if you are trying to understand Lisp, have a go on pure Lisp. Btw, Racket is great, I prefer Racket an Dr. Racket than Common Lisp.
- CarolineW 9y agoI don't entirely agree with your reply, but I think it's unreasonable that it's being downvoted. I've upvoted it to try to balance that, although it's not clear my vote will count for much, if anything. I think what you've said is reasonable, although it doesn't really address the poster's questions.
