Hmmm... let's try to whet your friend's appetite so that you can use Lisp also for the delivered product, not just the prototype :) Besides Paul Graham's "ANSI Common Lisp" and "On Lisp" (the latter available at his web site), here are a few online resources: Basic Lisp Techniques http://www.franz.com/resources/educational_resources/cooper.book.pdf Common Lisp, Typing and Mathematics http://www-fourier.ujf-grenoble.fr/~sergerar/Papers/common-lisp.ps Loving Lisp (see the free books page) http://www.markwatson.com On Lisp http://www.paulgraham.com/onlisptext.html Successful Lisp http://psg.com/~dlamkins/sl/contents.html Paolo -- EncyCMUCLopedia * Extensive collection of CMU Common Lisp documentation http://www.paoloamoroso.it/ency/README
