How can I learn Lisp?

Lisp FAQ
The way to learn any language is to write programs in it. You have two main dialects to choose between: Scheme and Common Lisp. They each have advantages and disadvantages, but the differences between them are tiny compared to the differences between them and other languages, so if you want to start learning Lisp, it doesn't matter which you choose. There are good books about both dialects, and many good free implementations.

Is Scheme a lisp?

Frequently Asked Questions for comp.lang.lisp
Scheme is a member of the greater family of Lisp languages, assuming that is considered to include others like Dylan and Emacs Lisp. The design of Scheme predates the ANSI Common Lisp standard, and some CL features such as lexical scoping may be considered to have been derived from Scheme. More detailed comparative discussions don't generally prove very productive; those that are interested in discussing Scheme should first consider discussing it in comp.lang.

Which should I learn, Common Lisp or Scheme? What's the difference?

Lisp FAQ
Common Lisp is powerful but ugly. Scheme is small and clean, but the standard only defines the inner core of the language. If I had to deliver an application I'd probably use Common Lisp; if I were teaching a course I might use Scheme (but with Common Lisp macros).

This is the problem where the desktop integration dialog fights for focus with a modal dialog displayed by the application, or the dialog is lost behind another application window. If you have multiple native libraries, you must load each library with System.LoadLibrary, before loading any other that references it. This may become impossible if libraries have circular dependancies.

But you now wish to add a special case. Simple: (defun foo (bar &optional (special-case nil)) (if special-case 0 (+ bar 42))) (foo 3) 45 (foo 3 t) 0 Rather than having to write two functions, with the oldest one delegating to the new one, you simply amend the existing one with optional arguments, all of which you give a default value that you can now account for in the new version.

If I use Vista or WebCT, are my online resources accessible?

CSUCI > Accessible Technology Initiative (ATI) - Frequent...
It depends. Vista and WebCT are generally accessible. The problem arises when items and documents are added to the learning management system without consideration to accessibility. For example, if streaming videos are added to the online environment, they need to have captions or at least transcripts for students who are deaf. Also, documents need to be accessible for screen readers, etc. Some PDF documents are not automatically accessible.
