Is there a way to formulate the fascination of Lisp in a more beautiful way than George Boole did: "That language is an instrument of human reason, and not merely a medium for the expression of thought, is a truth generally admitted.

"One of the most important and fascinating of all computer languages is Lisp (standing for "List Processing"), which was invented by John McCarthy around the time Algol was invented."
(Douglas Hofstadter)

Graphically playing around with Lisp code sniplets, by Bernd Klein

"Lisp is worth learning for the profound enlightenment experience you will have when you finally get it; that experience will make you a better programmer for the rest of your days, even if you never actually use Lisp itself a lot." (Eric Raymond in "How to Become a Hacker")

Lisp Course for Beginners

Lisp is a programming language with a long history - it's actually one of the oldest languages - and the reputation of being very sophisticated. A rep accompanied by the anxiety that it is hard to learn, too hard some think. This is a course that simplifies the study of Lisp. Lisp the easy way!

Target Group:
Participants should have experience with at least one other programming or scripting language.

Content:
Lisp is an old language. Actually, it is the second oldest of those programming languages which are still widespread use nowadays, only Fortran is older.
But Lisp is still a modern language: With implementations like sbcl and closure (for Java) it is possible to design and create modern applications that are as fast as any other programming language, even C.

There is a huge library available for Lisp, especially if you are using Common-Lisp.
Another advantage of Lisp is that is is multi-paradigm. Unlike Java the user is not forced to write Object Oriented Code.
