Re: [SLUG] Anyone know of a LISP Users group in Sydney ?
Hi All, It looks like there's perhaps enough interest to at least set up some kind of place to yack that's not on this list. James, the livejournal LISP/Scheme link is http://www.livejournal.com/community/lisp/ I've setup a community next to my account on LiveJournal, it's at http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=sydneylisp. Sorry for the unimaginative name... Thanks for the MIT links Hal. The OCW setup at MIT is pretty amazing. James, you offered your test script updates. If you want, do you want to put them up on the community site ? I hope that's okay to have set this up. I'll transcribe the accumulated links from these emails to the site a bit later on too. Look forward to chatting, must get back to work now.

[SLUG] Anyone know of a LISP Users group in Sydney ?
Hello fellow SLUGers, Does anyone know of any LISP user groups in our fair city ? If there are any LISP users on this list, could they drop me a line ? I'm a beginner looking for info on good places to hone my skills.

Hello fellow SLUGers, Does anyone know of any LISP user groups in our fair city ? Nope, but I'm willing to get involved with one. If there are any LISP users on this list, could they drop me a line ? I'm a beginner looking for info on good places to hone my skills. Right here. I'm still pretty much a beginner myself, but getting the hang of it quickly. Three resources that you'll find very useful: http://www.cliki.net http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Front/index.htm http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/ The entire book is available from there, but I bought the hardcopy version anyway. It's easier to read on the bus, and it seems only fair to support the publisher when I'm getting that much value out of it.
