I liked the book Practical Common Lisp (PCL) very much, you can read it online for free on the authors website: http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/ http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/ I suggest using portacle (a preconfigured emacs) as development environment during that course as this is the easiest way to get cracking in CL imho. Although Janet's core library is different from CL, I think once you grok LISP, it's not hard to switch to another dialect: After working through ~half of PCL I abandoned it in favour of a learning-by-doing approach in ClojureCLR as I work mostly in .NET or Mono atm.
