Learning Lisp

[Wolfgirl]

Hey all. There used to be this really neat thread that had all sorts of methods people had recommended to learn Lisp. So...

What reference materials do/did you use to learn lisp? And what was you opinion of them? (ie good, bad, beginners, advanced, etc)

Thank you for any help in resurrecting this thread!!!

Hi

Below snippet is from an old ACAD Guild post that I made (Aug 2003); note additions in red -

Have you Subscribed to the LISP Guild? Great place to learn. (Now replaced by the LISP Forum)

Keep an eye out for the next and future ATP Courses offered by AUGI.

http://www.acadx.com/ An other excellent site (Hopefully Bobby or Robert can enlighten us to the current state of their site)

I wondered what happened to that site, also. Hope it will still be available.

Mike, thanks for referring to my humble stuff. Although that URL is still valid, it has moved to http://www.smadsen.com. The old URL will not be updated anymore.

Hi Wolfgirl

If you're into good old fashioned paper, there are a couple of good text books out there.
For novices, the best one I've seen is:

AutoLISP Programming: Principles & Techniques
Author- Rod Rawls
Publisher- Goodheart Willcox
ISBN No.- 1566374170

For more advanced folk, there's:

AutoCAD Developer's Guide to Visual LISP
Author- Nikolai Poleschuk
Publisher- Charles River Media
ISBN No. 1584500913

I teach an introductory AutoLISP class at a local college, & these are the texts I recommend to my students.

We will return under a new domain name, when I get the time to make the move.

I found this zip file on a website.....looks like lesson plans to teach lisp.

Hi

Sorry for the *edit* but I believe it would best if the file Lesson.zip was *not* posted on the AUGI web site unless the author has given their permission (if they have then please accept my apology and repost the file).

Better still, please post the URL to Lesson.zip so people can go to the authors site directly and download the file for themselves.

AUGI can not take chances with regard any Copyright infringements that may exist + It would be only proper/right to get the author's permission before posting their work.

Thanks for your understanding,

Mike
