Lisp resources (some snarfed directly from http://www.apl.jhu.edu/~hall/lisp.html):

• Lisp Frequently Asked Questions
• Allegro Common Lisp on-line documentation
• Digitool, the maker of Macintosh Common Lisp.
• An Introduction and Tutorial for Common Lisp by Marty Hall (excellent!).
• HyperSpec. An HTML version of the official ANSI specification for Common Lisp. From Kent Pitman and Harlequin Inc. Not a tutorial, but completely defines every function, variable, and construct all of Common Lisp.
  • Table of Contents.
  • Highlights (alternate Table of Contents).
  • Master Index.
  • Index of all words in Common Lisp (variables, function names, etc).
• Common Lisp: The Language (2nd Edition, HTML version). This was the official language definition prior to the release of the ANSI Specification, and is still a useful reference.
  • Table of Contents.
  • Index.
  • Intro/Overview.
• The draft ANSI specification for Common Lisp (PostScript by sections). For online access, use the HyperSpec., but the final ANSI spec is not available free in PostScript.
• On-line guide to the CLOS MOP (Meta-Object Protocol).
• User's Guide for CLIM 2.0. CLIM is the Common Lisp Interface Manager, a graphics library supported by several different vendors. User's Guide is from Harlequin.
• The Lisp Resources Page of the UMass Experimental Knowledge Systems Laboratory.
• A brief guide to the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS).
