So I found a love for CL and Scheme and I like Scheme just a bit more because it's very clean. So i started downloading and buying books on Scheme, including:
o) the little schemer o) the seasoned schemer o) LiSP in Small Pieces (quite a heavy read for me :))
Ok, now I have been developing Rich Internet application for a while now and love writing web applications. Then I thought it would be great if I can write web applications using Scheme :)
Most of my knowledge is self-taught because I love to read. There are no good CS courses here that cover Scheme / CL in great detail, so I am a bit green in this area.
Ok, so that intro was a bit longer than expected :)
That's fine, you're on the way to enlightenment :-)

Made for spirituality, we wallow in introspection. Made for joy, we settle for pleasure. Made for justice, we clamour for vengeance. Made for relationship, we insist on our own way. Made for beauty, we are satisfied with sentiment. But new creation has already begun. The sun has begun to rise.
