Resources & Compilers
Paulo J. Matos aka PDestroy
I'd like to start on LISP.
I already know Scheme and since Scheme is a dialect of Lisp I suspect that
the are similar.
I would like the best net resources, reference books and an IDE or a
compiler for windows. I need sugestions...
TIA,
Best regards,

I think that's a very good idea, as long as you mean Common Lisp.
(It was spelled "LISP" in ancient times, like many other acronyms
that were capitalized. These days, it's spelled "Lisp".)

I think these are very bad ideas. Knowing Scheme is harmful to
using other languages efficiently. Thinking that other languages
are like Scheme is harmful to learning them. Generally speaking.
It depends of course on how many bad habits you picked up from
Scheme, but it is a language that rewards the bad while trying to
teach some good. E.g., if you want iteration, use iteration, don't
just _call_ it recursion and hope you have tail call merging so it
becomes iteration. In general, recursion is good if you don't
traverse something in only one direction. Scheme teaches recursion
mostly for traversing structures in only one direction, and that's
an incredible waste.

I would personally suggest the Allegro CL environment from Franz
Inc. The trial edition for Windows includes the IDE, but has a few
restrictions to force you to purchase a license instead of using it
for commercial development. These may get in the way at times.

Here are a few suggestions:

CLiki (Common Lisp--for Unix--resources)
http://ww.telent.net/cliki/
Common Lisp: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation
(introductory book--may be freely downloaded)

Where can I find a compiler for CLisp in MS Windows or DOS?
