    The Common Lisp Cookbook

    Lisp Cookbook is a pretty good supplement (to PCL or otherwise). Works well as a reference, and small bits make it easy to digest.

  • clog

    CLOG - The Common Lisp Omnificent GUI

    If you already have programming experience I wrote some tutorials that will get you to speed quickly - https://github.com/rabbibotton/clog/blob/main/LEARN.md

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • portacle

    A portable common lisp development environment

    Others have covered the language, but you'll also want tooling. An easy one to get started with is Portacle. It's a Lisp compiler, emacs with Lisp plugins, QuickLisp package manager, etc. so you don't have to spend time setting it all up.
