You are starting wrong. Real programmers won´t use Windows even at gunpoint. Windows is good mostly for gaming. For Photoshop, there is OSX, which is a full fledged Unix. For people who use Real Operating Systems, a bunch of Lisp environments (including Emacs + Slime) are just an apt-get away. Weblocks seems to be a nice web framework. As for the third hit on Google (Kanamit), it was a prank.

As for #2, http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Front/index... seems to be a good start

As for #3, that one got me. I am mostly a Python/Plone guy learning Django, but I am sure plenty was developed in the last couple decades for Lisp. Since it takes a smart person to do it, you shouldn't find lots of lousy stuff.

Real hackers use the tools at their disposal whatever they may be.

The Tao gave birth to machine language. Machine language gave birth to the assembler.

The assembler gave birth to the compiler. Now there are ten thousand languages.

Each language has its purpose, however humble. Each language expresses the Yin and Yang of software. Each language has its place within the Tao.

But do not program in COBOL if you can avoid it.
