Hi guys. In my spare time (which is little) I'm developing a course to develop newbies into powerhouse computer programmers. Of course, it is LISP (and newLISP) centric.
If anyone would care to look and make suggestions, I'd like to hear them.
The actual course outline isn't finished yet, but the set of core texts is mostly settled.
You can see it here:

Looks good, Ted. I'd like to see your outline. But that excellent reading list would be hard to follow!
Nice to see Leo Brodie's books in there, too. I liked him.
And let's not forget good ol' Eric Blair! :-)

Hard to follow, as in, hard to locate and then read?
I am envisioning this as a four year long programmer boot camp, not a simple 6 month course. :) Almost an apprenticeship. At 12 books per year, 1 per month, I think a young padawan programmer could manage. The purpose of the outline is to set the pacing and make sure things are done in the right order.

One of my favorite books about Forth was by Leo.
Maybe we could persuade him to write one on newLISP ;-)

Speaking of reading lists for programmers...
