Have you looked at http://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/ ? This site contains lots of useful information and would be enough to get started. Another possibility is to read a few books, e.g., Expert F# 3.0, F# Deep Dives.
No, Clozure Common Lisp is an implenentation of Common Lisp that runs on Windows, Linux and OSX. Clojure is a different language that targets the JVM and it's very different from Common Lisp.
It's funny... just runned the query "days out near me" on google and bing. Bing shows the site at number one while google only shows it at number 3, 4 and 5 and never the top domain.
Clojure is a Lisp! From Clojure's website: "Clojure is a dialect of Lisp, and shares with Lisp the code-as-data philosophy and a powerful macro system".
This. I moved back to Safari because with Chrome it's so painful to do paper hunting. It's much easier and fast to skim over and then decide which ones to save and read.
Thanks for this wonderfull book! I have just bought the printed book with the pdf. Very very good!
This might be just the perfect companion to "Pratical Common Lisp" by Peter Seibel. I always thought PCL is an excellent book for someone who already knows some Lisp. With these two books, I believe you really achieve a powerfull combo to start learning and using Lisp!
The best Tetris version I've played is the one on my HP48GX. I like it so much that I think I've spend more time playing Tetris on my calculator than doing other things with it ;-)
That extra code :-) First I wrote everything to manipulate a linked list and test it and then I wrote the reverse function. Since I wrote a insert at front function, the reverse function is small. I must add that I am not a fast typer.
Funny, I also fired textmate and started solving the problem in C :-)
It took me around 20 minutes to write all the extra code and 9 to write the reverse function (including the testing and all).
The problem was not knowing how to solve it but more the pressure of looking at the clock and seeing the time flying away. Because of that, some minor mistakes were done and naturally you start to get nervous and waste more time. In a phone interview I would probably even do more minor mistakes and fail it.
