Product Details

Continued from the back cover: "Key features include:

  • An update-to-date reference manual for ANSI Common Lisp.
  • An in-depth look at object-oriented programming. Explains the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS), and also how to write your own object-oriented language.
  • Over 20 substantial examples, including programs for ray-tracing, text generation, pattern-matching, logical inference, generating HTML, sorting and searching, file I/O, compression, and date arithmetic.
  • Special attention to critical concepts, including prefix syntax, code vs. data, recursion, functional programming, types, implicit pointers, dynamic allocation, closures, macros, class precedence, and generic functions vs. message-passing.
  • A complete guide to optimization.
  • The clearest and most thorough explanation of macros in any introductory book.
  • Examples that illustrate Lisp programming styles, including rapid prototyping, bottom-up programming, object-oriented programming, and embedded languages.
  • An appendix on debugging, with examples of common errors."
Reviewers Richard Fateman, University of California at Berkeley, and John Foderaro, Franz Inc., have called this book a "useful alternative to Steele" and "ideal for a classroom text." Reviewer David Touretzky, Carnegie-Mellon University, wrote, "The final chapter is brilliant. It simultaneously explains some of the key ideas behind object-oriented programming and takes the reader through several versions of an object-oriented system, each ore sophisticated than the previous."
