Is lisp a language for a newbie?
yan: It depends how much work you're willing to put into it. Yes, you can treat Lisp as a first language, MIT has been doing it for years (until recently). Their Intro to CS class, CS 6.001, used Scheme and is very highly regarded.Their text book[1] and lecture videos[2] are free on the internet. Can't hurt to give it a shot.[1] http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/[2] http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/classes/6.001/abelson-sussma...
