We have couple of options at this stage.
1). We can go off and keep reading the compiler text book and a Lisp text book.
2). We can start implementing a A1 which is a lexical anylzer and a parser.
This is under question since we don't know whcih language to use; Cormack decided to ignore our plea about Python.
3). This is my favourite option. There is a need to SQL-92 parser to verify if SQL code complies with SQL-92 standard. There are, of course commercial products, but nothing on the web where you can just post your sql to the form and it will check the code for SQL-92 compliance. The beauty of this project is that exactly fits in with our learning requirements for A1. We only need to implement a lexical analyzer and a parser. Grammar for SQL-92 already exists.
We might be able to reuse lexical analyzer and parser for other grammars, basically A1. I am not even talking about benefits like small ad revenue, industry exposure, and a better looking resume.
What are your thoughts?

Did some more researchand found SQL Validators...I ma pretty sure they didn't exist a year ago:(

As of right now, I'm learning Common Lisp. I cannot stray too far away from that right and to be frank it's going far too slow.
If we're going to be using SBCL or Scheme then I want to be an expert on Lisp by the time we start coding. Otherwise, I won't know what we're capable or incapable of given our choice of language.
Unfortunately, due to work, tutorials, social garbage, and SAD I can't divide my time up more than work and doing Lisp tutorials. If I do anymore than that I won't be able to focus and lose time due to multitasking too much.
I'm going to opt with 1).
well u still do it in Lisp. it is much easier to learn the language by doing than reading a textbook or so the common knowledge goes...Since opt 3). is dead anyways... I am not suggesting anything.:(
Btw, do you guys want to post "cool things to do with Lisp"?
I'd prefer to go through the textbook. Afterwards I'm gung-ho for those types of things though.
I agree with Rob. I don't have enough time to learn lisp, study the compilers text, and do extra projects. It seems I barely have enough time to read the lisp book to begin with. Anyhow, I second option one for now.
Can anyone recommend the top Managed Service system for a small IT service company like mine? Does anyone use Kaseya.com or GFI.com? How do they compare to these guys I found recently: N-able N-central it support
? What is your best take in cost vs performance among those three? I need a good advice please... Thanks in advance!
Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!
