Scheme StuffScheme is a dialect of Lisp used a lot in computer science education. Some people prefer it to Common Lisp. The Scheme language is defined in the Revised(5) Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme Scheme Implementations:
The classic text Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (HTML, PDF) was used in the introductory Computer Science course at MIT until 2005. Video lectures to accompany the text are available from MIT, Berkeley, and Ars Digita University. The Little
Schemer is an update of "The Little LISPer", and should be read by
anyone seriously working with Lisp or Scheme.
Text Editors and Development EnvironmentsEmacs is the
traditional editor for Lisp development. I use GNU
Emacs.
Some people prefer XEmacs instead.
Marco Baringer created a video showing the use of SLIME, the Superior Lisp Interaction Mode for Emacs. Lisp MachinesI've long been fascinated by Lisp Machines, especially those made by Symbolics. If you have any Lisp Machine hardware, software, or documentation that needs a home, let me know.
The LISP
Machine Progress Report (MIT AI Labs memo 444, 1977) Brad Parker has developed an emulator for the CADR Lisp Machine.
Xerox has an emulator of their
Interlisp-D environment running Medley available.
Symbolics still has a website
and offers a limited selection of hardware and software for sale Other LinksI keep lists of Lisp and Scheme bookmarks at del.icio.us.Planet Lisp and Planet Scheme keep me up to date date with the latest Lisp and Scheme happenings. Bill Clementson has an excellent list of Lisp books online.
