Default Re: Anyone know where I can begin to teach myself programming?

I don't know if I'd recommend Lisp for desktop programming. Doesn't really have the libraries and delivery of applications isn't simple.

I've recently been playing with Scala which is functional like Lisp (though doesn't have Lisp macros, what does) but runs on the JVM and can use and extend all Java classes.

Seems quite nice. It doesn't lose all that much in terms of performance thanks to type inference.
