Need help with learning LISP (Programming)

[RudeBoie]

Taking a LISP class next semester, and want to get a big jump on it. Any sites or books you can recommend? Normally, I would just buy the books early, but my friends at Berkeley tell me that most professors don't finalize their book lists untill 1 week (or worse) before the start of school.

I thought if you had a lispo you wanted to get rid of it. Now they have classes to get a LISP?:Q

I'm sure this is just a way for liberals to make the lisping youth of america feel better about themselves!

we learned that for 1 week in my intro to comp sci class. We were expected to know how to program in it after 1 week. I didn't go that week.

lisp isn't that hard
recursion is your friend

Lisp is fun. You'll never do so much with so little code. It doesn't seem to have much practical use. When I had lisp, we used an O'Reilly book. Lisp in a Nutshell maybe?

Believe it or not, it actually took me a few posts to get these LISP jokes

HP used RPL for their calculators. I had a lot of fun programming those.
