I need some suggestions on where to find good examples of source
code to read.  I know about the CMU AI repository,
common-lisp.net, etc., but was hoping someone here could give
specific examples of code a newbie should read.  (non trivial,
good style, etc.)

Any ideas?


Thanks in advance.

I recommend the code by Peter Norvig in "Paradigms of Artificial
Intelligence Programming".   You can download it from Peter's web
site.

You might take a look at code written by Edi Weitz, it's usually
well-written and well-documented (e.g. CL-PPCRE, see
http://www.weitz.de/). Norvig's code is really well-written, too. (And
you can get a thorough description of what's going on, if you buy the
book, too ;) It's worth it.

I recommend the Lisa source code:

  http://lisa.sourceforge.net/

This is interesting because, although the problem domain may be
complex for a novice, it's surprising how much you will be able to
understand by reading the code.

Get a copy of PAIP.

An interesting remark concerning Peter Norvig's style (this is not
any kind of critics, of course): in PAIP, he tends to shy away from
LOOP macro. In some of his later code he seems to use it more often,
e.g. http://www.norvig.com/java-lisp.html

I've enjoyed reading SLIME/Swank.  And I don't even know Emacs Lisp.
