Learning a Lisp

Name: Anonymous 2010-04-06 13:54

So I'd like to learn a Lisp. What dialect should I use? I believe Common Lisp is the most widely used one. And what about books, online tutorials?

The syntax it adds is simpler, for example it adds "sentence" as a replacement for cons. sentence is simpler because it doesnt allow nested lists. Logo was orginally designed to teach children to program.

In fact I would recommend Logo as a first Lisp for teens to learn, and the author who wrote Simply Scheme also wrote books for teaching Logo which he gives away for free here:
