Wait, expand on that.  I'm in chicago. I've only found one lisp group in the area, and they've only met once, and that was over a year ago, and they are mostly common list people anyway. Is there something I don't know?  :) Corey <div>On 6/20/06, Noel Welsh <<a href="mailto:noelwelsh@yahoo.com">noelwelsh@yahoo.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> --- Tim Hanson <<a href="mailto:tbhanson@gmx.de">tbhanson@gmx.de</a>> wrote: > Have people followed up on any of these ideas?

Teach oneself is the easiest option if you don't happen to live around Boston, Utah, or Chicago.  That worked for me. Seeing other Schemers in action is illuminating, as there are many tricks and tips you can pick up (I certainly have).  For "How To's" the Cookbook is the best option IMHO (<a href="http://schemecookbook.org">schemecookbook.org</a>).
