Thinking in Java/Lisp

Friday, April 30, 2004

A while back, a weblog called THECLAPP appeared. The guy was learning Java and Lisp by going through the exercises in Bruce Eckel's Thinking in Java book and coding each one in both Java and Lisp. His posts were very interesting. Unfortunately, he stopped posting on September 27, 2003 after getting up to Chapter 6 in the book (there are 17 chapters in the version of the book that I have). Since there seem to be more people coming to Lisp from Java these days, I thought it would be worthwhile to post links to each of his Java/Lisp posts. Here they are:
