Can anyone recommend a good introductionary book dealing with AutoLisp and VisualLisp? I found some general Lisp books out there, but I'm uncertain how much Lisp variants differ.
I haven't found any in the old questions in here, either.

Lisp variants differ extensively. – jrockway Jul 13 '09 at 23:04

In that case I'm specifically looking for an AutoLisp / VisualLisp book (those two being relatively similar). – Rook Jul 13 '09 at 23:05

"The Visual LISP Developers Bible" by David M. Stein for example. It is from 2004, but AutoCAD autolisp/visual-lisp API has not changed during last years.

My first AutoLISP book was "The ABCs of AutoLISP" (available at the link Shantaram shared). I really appreciated it. It was short and it was a good primer for me in the early days of my programming efforts. I only mention it to add to your potential bookshelf. David Stein's book is the modern standard.
By the way, I am happy to answer any AutoLISP question you may have. Or you can visit the AutoDesk forums or the AUGI forums or the CADTutor.net forums
