Depending on what you want to know about lisp I would recommend: Learning lisp: Practical Common Lisp
This is an excellent text for people who are Java programmers. Really learning lisp: Let Over Lambda This will give you ways to think about Lambda as the fundamental mechanism. Let is just Lambda binding. Let over Lambda gives shared local variable scope. Lambda over Let over Lambda gives objects, etc. Really, really learning lisp: Lisp In Small Pieces This literate document walks you through the real internals of a lisp system using the actual executable code of the interpreter and compiler. The beauty of this book is that you can read the source code like a novel. Learning Clojure: Clojure in Small Pieces Ok, this is my attempt to mimic Lisp In Small Pieces for Clojure. It would be great if people would contribute chapters for understanding the internals of Clojure. We would then have a book that could be read like a novel which would allow people to fully understand Clojure. The CISP book includes a complete Clojure source code distribution. By following the instructions you can automatically generate a running Clojure REPL and a PDF containing the explanation (such as it is so far). http://daly.literatesoftware.com/clojure.pdf (pdf doc) http://daly.literatesoftware.com/clojure.pamphlet (pdf source) Tim Daly On Tue, 2011-07-19 at 08:28 -0700, CuppoJava wrote: > Let Over Lambda is more a collection of advanced and narrow tricks > that a experienced Lisper would find interesting (and maybe useful). > It assumes you know the good practices already, and then proceeds to > break them for awe and effect.
