I bought a few, but they are extremely advanced concepts using their own compiled libraries.
Also the disks were missing containing the files, the websites, & base structures they reference are no longer available to even begin to follow through them anymore. I bought them used because I had so much trouble finding current ones available as well.
Looking for something to build my foundations better.

Afralisp has some good tutorials, if you care to go that route.
-
Look here - to me the best of the best authors:
http://www.private.peterlink.ru/poleshchuk/cad/eng.html
or
http://personales.unican.es/togoresr/index.html
try to learn C# instead or any other like C++/ARX
-
My first book on AutoLisp was by George O. Head, not just cuz the name cracks me up, but he truly put out some good material. This was a long time ago and I have since misplaced/forgotten the books and titles. Google.

I have some intermediate experience with C# & VB using Visual Studio & SQL but when I tried to find any books bridging them to AutoCAD I got cricket sounds. This was a year ago though.
If you know of any availalbe lately I would love to try that route.

No autolisp in there though...

This (http://www.autolisp-tutorial.mapcar.net/) is a German tutorial.
It's very good written: It's not only an explanation of functions, but the writer is really teaching and he has humor.

It was and is My first Lisp Book.

Just for beginner.

Crank,
sadly, the author of this site passed away to early. The german-speaking AutoCAD and -LISP community still feels a great sadness about this.
But from all I know his site will be kept online as long as possible.
A compilation of his AutoLISP and VisualLISP sites, edited and completed by some fellows was published as a book a few weeks ago here (http://www.hanser.de/buch.asp?isbn=978-3-446-41217-0&area=Computer)
Yes, I know, it's my post and it's advertising. Sorry about that. But it was just to round off crank's post.

Funny I didn't see it as advertising at all.

One of the best I've come across
AfraLISP is a great online reasource as well.

Yup. Thats the the one!

Not sure how many reprints were done, but I bought that book back in 92'. I'm pretty sure it was the stone tablet version.

Funny when the masculine and feminine objectivity of other languages become involved in an english translation.
Thanks to all for the links and advice. I always tried to start with a few books, but they bounced around so much and my scope of work has me bounced around so much I never got from cover to cover.
I'll have to try a few of these out for the full cover to cover.

Here ya go CADaver
ummm.... thanks??
It may be that Lisp is in AutoCAD an old hat that the large love of Microsoft actual those would also not have it probably rather an active participation in Visual basic, which is built into AutoCAD also.
???

I like things like:
"It may be that Lisp is in AutoCAD an old hat that the large love of Microsoft actual those would also not have it probably rather an active participation in Visual basic."
Now that's some primo babel... :-)

That one worked for me too Luis.
... but I found the New Rider books were great ( somewhere around Rel 11. or 12)
-
Mastering Autolisp for versions r9-r13 by New Riders Press were the best books. Then they just quit updating them
-
IMO, once you feel comfortable with the Rawls and Hagen book, the rest is learned online.
Let's face it. One reason there are no books which fully explain the topics discussed here is because books are being replaced by online. Sad though that may be for those of us who like the feel of a book.
Just my two cents...

I agree Randy, that's a pretty good starter. The author makes a statement that I think is critical ... do the exercises.
How to Use This Book
Each chapter offers exercises and sample programs that demonstrate some general concept regarding AutoLISP. Through these exercises, the book shows you how programs develop from ideas into finished, running programs. Also, the information you learn in one chapter will build on what you learned in the previous chapter. This way, your knowledge of AutoLISP will be integrated and cohesive, rather than fragmented. For this reason, the best way to use this book is to read each chapter in order and do all of the exercises. Since the topics are oriented toward accomplishing tasks rather than simply focusing on individual functions, you will have a good grasp of how to use AutoLISP in real world situations by the end of this book.
To preempt derogatory comment, I know I'm stating the seemingly obvious .. but it seems to be something that gets forgotten, to the detriment of the student.
