Having first learned Clojure and then Scheme, I recently started learning Lisp. From my experience with these three languages I would tend to agree with Mike Meyer in his observations.
Short of pimping a tutorial written by me, here is a quick introduction to Clojure mean't to get beginners up to speed. http://fasttrackclojure.blogspot.com On Mon, Nov 22, 2010 at 6:57 AM, Mike Meyer <mwm-keyword-googlegroups.620...@mired.org> wrote: > On Sun, 21 Nov 2010 16:26:07 -0800 (PST) > coco <clasesparticulares...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Hi everybody...I'm interested in learning clojure but there're only a >> few books and more focused to advanced programmers...I found today a >> nice book about Clisp but I don't know how different is it....please >> can tell if can be recommendable learn first Clisp with a easy follow >> book..or if there are many differences about these and It's not >> recommendable.... > > Well, learning Clisp first will make learning Clojure a lot easier if > you're not familiar with LISPs or functional programming.
