"Lisp is a uniquely powerful programming language that, despite its academic reputation, is actually very practical. Land of Lisp brings the language into the real world, teaching Lisp by showing you how to write several complete Lisp-based games, including a text adventure, an evolution simulation, and a robot battle.

"Have you ever wondered how it could be that Lisp is so powerful, and yet C is so much more successful and ubiquitous? How is it that so many brilliant coders know Lisp, and yet we so rarely hear from any of them other than Paul Graham? This is a great article that tries to explain it: the bipolar Lisp programmer." -- «So what's the problem with Lisp?

"I ordered PAIP today. Good computer books are so expensive. It hurts me to spend $80 on a book. But there are many worse ways to spend $80 than on something which contains so much knowledge, I guess. I got a $25 gift card for a book store for Christmas, so may as well put it to good use. I've read good reviews of PAIP, so I hope it lives up to them. I had only one AI course in college, and it was taught in C (ugh) by a grad student, and I learned little to nothing from it. It'll be nice to revisit the subject. (And learn more Common Lisp, of course.) [...] Every request to Hunchentoot is apparently handled in a Lisp thread, so concurrency issues are generally all taken care of for you, no worries.

"Common Lisp: First Contact is an easy to read introduction to Lisp. The goal is to make you familiar with Lisp syntax and with how Lisp works. Nothing more than a basic understanding of computing is required..."

"There has been a new wave of interest in Common Lisp over the last few years. This paper is a November, 2007 survey of Common Lisp implementations that are currently being actively maintained. It also provides references to writings about why Lisp is interesting and important, Lisp textbooks, and useful Lisp resources including repositories of available libraries. I hope it will help you find the right implementation for your project or product..."

"Are you an Emacs user but don't know Lisp?

"The purpose of the European Lisp Symposium is to provide a forum for the discussion of all aspects of the design, implementation and application of any of the Lisp dialects. We encourage everyone interested in Lisp to participate..."

"...The Association of Lisp Users is pleased to announce the 2009 International Lisp Conference will be held in Cambridge, Massachusetts, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sunday through Wednesday, March 22-25, 2009.

"ANSI Common Lisp is a high-level, general-purpose programming language. GNU CLISP is a Common Lisp implementation by Bruno Haible of Karlsruhe University and Michael Stoll of Munich University, both in Germany. It mostly supports the Lisp described in the ANSI Common Lisp standard..."
