Thank you Sylwestor. I used Gambit on Android to try stuff in chapter 1 - it worked very well so initially I'll be using this whilst I'm away in a few days time. I did start fiddling with Emacs but there's a limit to the steep learning curves I can handle at once, so it'll be LispWorks personal for ...

Hi folks Total Lisp newbie here and have been looking at SCIP as a way to improve on my general coding skill. I've not yet successfully linked Emacs to my Gnu lisp 2.61 - I'm a bit skeptical that I should tackle Emacs AND learn Lisp at once, however I've got Gambit on the android and Lispworks perso...

This book helped me massively: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Maths-Chemistry-chemists-toolkit-calculations/dp/0199541299 The Sigma (big E) was explained very simply as is capital Pi. I like the comparision of the For loop to explain Sigma, as this is how I see it. The Pi is not summing, you multiply inste...

It's funny, I've landed here because I'd like to learn Lisp - partly because I'm on a mission to cover fundamentals that old school coders and CS graduates covered as kids. I didn't start coding until about 4 years ago-even then it was off and on as work wasn't meant to be coding. Still, I find myse...
