Hello everyone, I'm an italian student of information technology, trying to walking on my own through the hard and full of obstacles path of the new lisp programmer. I've started my study just a couple of day ago following a very good manual but, unfortunately, I'm now lost on a dead end. After have spent googling all the day along with a very very low success, I've registered myself here hoping to find the help I'm searching.
Well... I don't think to have a big deal to solve... however, I have no idea how to face it. After have been approaching Lisp (Common Lisp) from a theorical point of view, I wuold like now to practice it. I downloaded the interpreters for Clozure CL and for SBCL but, actually, I can just write my programs directly in the REPL. I wuold really like to compile and load an external source, but I wasn't been able to find any documentation or explanation about it. Could you maybe give me any sort of help? Actually I'm trying to use LispBox with Clozure CL, as it seemed to me to be the simpliest approach... but I'm open to any suggestion you can give me.
Greetings and many thanks.
