Every couple months I get this huge urge to dive into Common Lisp and use it for work/study it/become a Lisper, but something comes up. I see this, have the same urge, and need to constrain myself from buying all the textbooks.
Please help yourself to a free copy of my Common Lisp book (https://leanpub.com/lovinglisp and set the price to free). There are better CL books that cover a broader spectrum of the language, but my book contains both tutorial info and some of my own CL projects. Some people have fun with it.
I did one of the basic tutorials out there and got to macros. In a terse few lines you get to a nice unit testing framework! It gave me a feel for why people live it. But yeah I just need 5 years on an elite team who would take me under their wing, but I can’t afford to pay them!
