2009-10-25 Sunday - Common Lisp

In my study of the Scala language, I've taken a slight detour to spend some time learning the CLISP implementation of Common Lisp, which I think will help me to better understand Scala itself (as well as fundamental concepts of any Functional Language).

Here are some of the resource links that I've found useful:

Although not specific to Scala or Lisp, I enjoyed reading this 376 page text...
