excuse the presumption, but let me say what most of us are thinking: abelson and sussman is a great text and all, but i don't see the wisdom in starting a user group around lisp. it's sort of an academic language that had is very rarely used in industry and aside from a small crowd of die hards, it's really not much more than an fantastic introduction to computer science concepts and/or an intellectual toy. oh, and yes, emacs of course. but, hey, it'd make for a fun plug presentation. ;-) Josh Coates www.jcoates.org -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Roberto Mello Sent: Thursday, July 07, 2005 5:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: UT Lisp Users Group? Hi, I and a few other friends have been searching for a Lisp users group in Utah without success. Anyone heard of one that I could be pointed to? If we can't find one, we'd like to start one initially in UT county. We plan to have Lisp-learning presentations with exercises, initially focusing on SICP (Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, MIT Press) and PCL (Practical Common Lisp, Apress). If you're interested in such a group, please contact me off list. -Roberto -- People say I'm indecisive. Am I?
