The Land of Lisp is a fantastic book. Absolutely fantastic. I am not a Common Lisp fan AT ALL, but if you want to learn Lisp without feeling like you're trying to gain admission to some Hacker Buddhist Monastery high in the mountains where a bearded guy named Master Foo may just condemn you forever to Visual Basic if you so much as ask the wrong question, then it's a great start. :)
- James_Duval 13y agoWhat I really found helpful was learning Racket. Common Lisp is a little less straight-forward and a little more complex, so Racket is awesome for learning the patterns you'll use to program with. I'm starting to move into Common Lisp now, because it has more useful tools and libraries available for making 'proper' programming easier.
