[aklug] land of lisp

WAIT! No flame bait or political stuff this time!

Just wanted to point out this nifty book I've been reading, and the Web
site that advertises it:

http://landoflisp.com/

Basically, it is a book that aims to revive interest in Lisp, by showing
all the cool programming concepts built into it or commonly used by
Lispers. Along the way you build little text-based games, such as an
interactive fiction story. The code examples are made for CLISP, but
I've used SBCL so far and haven't had any trouble.

Also, it is full of snazzy comic art! Scroll down to the bottom of the
above Web page to read the teaser comic book drama "LAND OF LISP:
SECRETS OF THE SEVEN GUILDS"!

On Debian, it was pretty easy to install SLIME with SBCL for emacs. So
I've been working through it slowly with the PDF in one window and Emacs
in another. Was around $50 for the paper book + PDF download - a little
cheaper if you just want the digital version.
