- The Lisp User's & Vendors conference [LUV 93] will be in Cambridge, USA
- Aug 9 -> 13, 93
- Usually there are tutorials but they aren't necessarily about basic Common Lisp.
- Last year there were tutorials about CLIM, Error Handling. etc.
- Most of what you need to know to program in Lisp is not basic lisp but
- about peripheral pieces of software [like window systems], effective use of tools
- like an editor, inspector, stepper, and, esp if you want to write a big program,
- strategy for managing complexity.
-
- Paradigms of AI by Peter Norvig is huge and good, though it doesn't talk about
- tools much, probably because they are CL-implementation dependent.
