Product Description

Product Description
The defacto standard - a must-have for all LISP programmers.


In this greatly expanded edition of the defacto standard, you'll learn about the nearly 200 changes already made since original publication - and find out about gray areas likely to be revised later. Written by the Vice- Chairman of X3J13 (the ANSI
committee responsible for the standardization of Common Lisp) and co-developer of the language itself, the new edition contains the entire text of the first edition plus six completely new chapters. They cover: - CLOS, the Common Lisp Object System, with new features to support function overloading and object-oriented programming, plus complete technical specifications * Loops, a powerful control structure for multiple variables * Conditions, a generalization of the error signaling mechanism * Series and generators * Plus other subjects not part of the ANSI standards but of interest to professional programmers. Throughout, you'll find fresh examples, additional clarifications, warnings, and tips - all presented with the author's customary vigor and wit.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good source in combination with other texts., 26 April 1999
By A Customer
Considered outdated by some, this book by Steele helps me in a nurturing capacity for understanding IDL lisp (ICAD Design Language by KTI). When used in combination with books by Graham and others, a good reference work when attempting to find specific keywords and constructs to solve isolated coding problems. It may fall a little short on examples but this is expected due to the original purpose of the text. All in all, a must for your lisp library.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is book is not very good as a reference., 11 Oct 1998
By A Customer
This is an outdated book with too many references to the X3J13 specification and what they voted on in 1989. The book is too verbose and there are very few good examples from which one can learn.
