But i only play with Lisp these days so am well out of date.

The best Lisp tutorial IMHO is the How To Design Programs
web site/book (htdp.org?)

Yes, HTDP is one of the very good ones. I'd strongly recommend it. As a full disclosure thing: I'm involved with the folks doing HTDP: I'm not a neutral party. :)

Just to clarify: HTDP does not focus on teaching Lisp per say. In fact, all of the the languages it uses are, in some sense, even smaller than Scheme. It's more focused on teaching good habits of programming.


HTDP uses the PLT Scheme distribution, which you can find here:

    http://www.plt-scheme.org/

You might want to wait for the pending release of 4.0 release of PLT Scheme. It's about to arrive in a few days; the PLT Scheme folks are right in the middle of testing their release-candidate.

The support mailing list for PLT Scheme is at:

    http://list.cs.brown.edu/mailman/listinfo/plt-scheme/

That mailing list is the main discussion group for PLT Scheme. In that sense, it doesn't play quite the same role as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Still, there are a lot of helpful people on that list.
