Rough Days for a Gentil Knight

“He was a verray parfit gentil knight.” —Chaucer
        

Friday 13 September 2002

I first conceived the desire to learn Lisp by reading some chapters in Douglas Hofstatder’s Metamagical Themas. Hofstatder wrote the successor column to Dewdney and Gardner.

I took my first steps reading through Matthias Felleisen and Daniel Friedman’s Little LISPer, now Schemer.

I then picked up Paul Graham’s Common LISP for an AI class but also picked up On LISP after enjoying CL’s style, and wishing to work through Koza with a fuller understanding.

I never worked up to an understanding of CLOS.

I picked up an old edition of Abelson and Sussman’s Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs and have picked through it peckishly.
