Does anyone have any other free Common Lisp book recommendations? I decided to give CL a try after reading about REPL-driven development, especially CL’s interactive condition/debugging experience. I’m almost done going through Practical Common Lisp. It’s been a fun experience so far! Edit: thanks, everyone!

  Thanks! Embarrassingly, On Lisp slipped my mind, even though I already had the PDF on my computer.

https://leanpub.com/lovinglisp https://leanpub.com/lovinglisp -- this one is great, and the first thing I recommend https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/ https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/ -- also great and up to date https://awesome-cl.com/ https://awesome-cl.com/ -- for anything else.

  Wow, I had not run across awesome-cl.com yet, but it’s just what I needed! One aspect of being new to the language is that I don’t know which libraries are commonly used.

CLiki (the Common Lisp wiki) has a list of books, some of which are freely available: https://www.cliki.net/Lisp%20books https://www.cliki.net/Lisp%20books

  Thanks! I had run across this, but it’s a big list, so if there are any you’d particularly recommend let me know!

Every once in a while I find even the language standard insufficiently clear (e.g. how to change the exponent character when printing double precision floats), then I dig again into Common Lisp the Language (2nd ed.) by Guy Steele available at https://www.cs.cmu.edu/Groups/AI/html/cltl/clm/clm.html https://www.cs.cmu.edu/Groups/AI/html/cltl/clm/clm.html .

Not a book, but tutorial videos showing CL in use using 2D OpenGL graphics: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTA6M4yZF0MzsMlNL0N67tIU12OLQ-R5K https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTA6M4yZF0MzsMlNL0N67...
