Hey, I want to learn lisp as complete beginner. I do not have any prior programming knowledge so how can I learn lisp as a beginner. I know Scheme and Common Lisp are 2 dialects of LISP. What is the difference and which one should I choose? Are there any online course that you recommend?

    But you probably best start here CLiki: Online Tutorial
  • Why do you want to learn LISP ?

    • Because I'm interested in learning Artificial Intelligence and thought LISP is where I should start.
  • I just bought a book about it on Amazon. I still like printed books as it's easier to relax in a hammock and study and the content goes deeper than online tutorials. But you can get free content using a search if you don't want to spend money.
  • Your one of those people... you like hurting yourself for no real reason?

    Anyway, I would recommend Scheme for what your planning to do with it.

    In terms of how to learn lisp, if you're nice to google, he should direct you to some good articles.

    Not having any prior programming knowledge, will make it tough as there are quite a few concepts which can be rather complex (e.g recursion which is used a lot of divides and conquer algorithms).

    Systematic Program Design uses a variant of LISP to teach some programming, so that maybe of use to you.
