Hi, i'm trying to learn Common Lisp and i'm trying to find a good book for that purpose, i've encountered "Common Lisp The Language 2nd edition" of 1989, my doubt is, will the contents of this book work with Common Lisp 2.33(since the book is a bit old)? Thanks in advance. Ricardo |

CLISP implements ANSI CL, which is slightly different from the language described in CLtL2 (which is not suitable as a textbook anyway). I recommend "ANSI Common Lisp" by Paul Graham as the textbook and the CLHS as the on-line reference. -- Sam Steingold (http://www.podval.org/~sds) running w2k <http://www.camera.org> <http://www.iris.org.il> <http://www.memri.org/> <http://www.mideasttruth.com/> <http://www.honestreporting.com> Abandon all hope, all ye who press Enter. |

Ricardo, I add my recommendation to what Sam said (Graham's "ANSI Common Lisp"). Paul Graham has a personal web site, & you can get a pointer there to where you can order the book, if I remember right. (Google for "Paul Graham".) gene Reply-to: cli...@li...
