This is an interesting book, for the topics it includes, and its way of teaching, Common Lisp programming.

It is freely available online and its creator is a Lisper from Toronto, Canada, “the Phoeron” Colin J.E. Lupton

As the book's introduction says:

"..this book is for you if:

• You know nothing about programming, but want to learn
• You tried to learn Lisp before, but other books made it seem too hard or not useful
• You are an experienced programmer considering a move to Lisp
• You are already a Lisper, but want to take your code to the next level, or
• You simply haven't seen what all the fuss is about when it comes to
  Lisp---but you keep hearing how amazing Lisp is, so here you are reading
  another book about it".

Some interesting topics that this book seeks to teach are:

• Real-world Web Apps.
• Graphics rendering
• Financial Software and Crypto-Currencies
• Build your own Lisp Machine
• Etc.

Another great feature is that it includes many interesting exercises to play and practice.

Have fun and Happy Hacking!  🙂
