Upcoming Lisp Book
After wandering the WikiWikiWeb for quite some time, I found out about a new Lisp book to be published sometime this year:

The WikiWikiWeb: you have to love it...
Tonight, somehow (and I'm not sure how this happened), I ended up at Ward Cunningham's WikiWiki site. I won't belabor the history or background of WikiWiki, as these topics are covered in detail over there.
However, the site is a HUGE repository of stuff related to programming languages, patterns, processes, practices and many other topics about Software Development in general. It even has quite a bit of information about Lisp.
After a couple of hours wending through the myriad links that relate to Lisp, I now know what a Smug Lisp Weenie is (and I don't want to be one), some of the differences between Lisp and Scheme, why we love and why we hate it, I've picked up a number of new URLs for later study, I've found out about many Lisp imple menta tions, how to handle incremental development with Lisp and lots of other little tid-bits.
And I don't even remember what led me...
Oh, yeah. I just remembered how I ended up at Ward's WikiWiki site. I was going to check out the CLiki (the Common Lisp Wiki), so I searched Google for "common lisp wiki cliki." I found a link to the the CLiki site, was well as a link to the CommonLisp topic on Ward's site.
I followed the link to Ward's site and never made it over to the CLiki site. I got completely side tracked at WikiWiki. Well, it's certainly not the first time that's happened. ;-)
If you've not spent any time at Ward Cunningham's WikiWikiWeb, I highly recommend a thorough review. You'll find lots to see and much to learn.
