Product Details
From the back cover: "Paradigms of AI Programming is the first text to teach advanced Common Lisp techniques in the context of building major AI systems.
"By reconstructing authentic, complex AI programs using state-of-the-art Common Lisp, the book teaches students and professionals how to build and debug robust practical programs, while demonstrating superior programming style and important AI concepts.
"The author strongly emphasizes the practical, performance issues of writing real working programs of significant size, including chapters on troubleshooting and efficiency. Also included is a discussion of the fundamentals of object-oriented programming and a description of the main CLOS functions."
