questions regarding LISP

Since this morning i am trying to learn what are LISP means, but I can't find better explanation. Please can anyone tell me about this? Writing it in notepad is the first way to do that, but how will you know the words/commands (whatever you call it) that you need to input. Do we have to make another tutorial lesson for that thing? how and where?.

 

Thanks so much for the info in advance.

LISP is a programming language.

 

Tutorials about writing lisp routines are available in a number of locations. Check out this thread. It contains links you might find useful.

As long as you are using Autocad 2010 which the Help document is still attached with that last version , just type vlide to fire up the Visual Lisp editor and from that pavement it would be a very good start for beginners and advanced Lispers .

 

Good luck .

I started with this website: http://www.afralisp.net/index.php - I could follow the basics very well in those instructions.

I second that suggestion ^^^^

Here's the biggest tip: In VLIDE you can much more easily see the correct names of all the keywords as they get highlighted. Also there's stuff like apropos where you can search for keywords. And if you place the cursor on top of a keyword in the lisp file you can press Ctrl+F1 to have the help open on that keyword.

 

If you use something further like NotePad+ then you'd need to customize it to be able to highlight keywords and / or add auto-completing. Unfortunately help would not be available as it is in VLIDE, neither would debug break-points & watches.

 

And of course Lee's Tutorials has some very good tips: http://lee-mac.com/tutorials.html
