Hello everyone!

Good day to all.

I'm new here in the forum to learn more about LISP creation. Any idea where and how to start learning?

Thank you very much.

^ Yes, those are quality tutorials.

There is one that is included with AutoCad as well: https://help.autodesk.com/view/ACD/2025/ESP/?guid=GUID-66377097-9BDB-4E3D-97E6-2263A5F273EC

Think of something you want to do and paste the idea here, we can then make suggestions about how you would work out how to do it, without posting actual code. That is your task.

Bonjour @jgcjoshuab

Perhaps you can try to visit my site.

Yes, it is in French, but translation is easy now.

I will try to make an English version.

I will make a channel for learning and training but not yet ready.
