Graham's "On Lisp" was the only CL book I read from start to finish. Thanks Paul, it was one of the eye-openers I still think about from time to time.

#12How can I learn enough Lisp to understand Emacs well?
This is a great resource (Learning Emacs Lisp by System Crafters) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEoMzSkcN8oPQtn7FQEF3...
Re: Common Lisp Books
#13This is awesome. I had an introductory lisp course in college and couldn’t make heads or tails of it. To this day it’s the only programming language I’ve tried and been unable to understand (“I could just never grok lisp - it’s incompatible with my brain”). Given a few introductory, free texts, I might be well on my way to remedy that :)
It took me a couple of years and several attempts to really get there. Don't give up! ;-)

#14How can I learn enough Lisp to understand Emacs well?
I asked this question myself on hn a couple of months ago, as the Chassell Elisp Introduction just wasn't working for me. Someone suggested learning CL via Seibel's Practical Common Lisp [1] and then just refering to the Elisp docs, which is a bit of a round-the-houses approach, but I'm now half way through the Seibel and really enjoying it. Pitched at just the right level for me.

#15Looks like someone else mentioned PAIP. I’d add “The Art of the Metaobject Protocol” as well.

#18Quite a random selection for such an official looking URL; what about e.g. "Common Lisp - The Language" ( https://www.amazon.com/-/de/dp/1555580416 ) or e.g. "Object-oriented programming in Common LISP" ( https://www.amazon.com/-/de/dp/0201175894 )? However, the reference to "Principles of Biomedical Informatics" was useful; looks like a very interesting book; another important CL application book not on the list, is…
CLtL2 ( https://www.cs.cmu.edu/Groups/AI/html/cltl/cltl2.html ) is freely available, PAIP ( https://github.com/norvig/paip-lisp ) also .

Hunchentoot as your server, there really is nothing like a unified framework.
