I am a PhD student planning to use lisp to develop social simulations. I
have never done any programming before of any sort and I am working
through Paul Graham's 1996 book and the tutorials it includes. To help
me further I am looking for a course that I could sit in on that would
be accessible to me in London or SE England. Can anyone advise me
whether there is one?
TIA
Neil

Have a look at David Lamkins' online book "Successful Lisp":

Hi,
The Open University has a Lisp module in their computing course, but it
may be that it is being run for the last time (I can't remember - they
do change their courses quite often). They have a web site that I
(also) can't remember, but if you try a few variations on www.ou.ac.uk
or www.open-university.ac.uk you should find it...
Learning is a very individual thing - personally I find the best way to
learn a computing language is by thinking of a simple program I'd like
and then sitting down and working out how to do it in that language.
However, starting programming for the *first time* may well be different
(it happened so long ago for me that I can't remember (again) any useful
information that might help :-).
Good luck,
Andrew

PS. Not a lisp course, but may be helpful:
