Description
For use as a core text supplement in any course covering common LISP such as Artificial Intelligence or Concepts of Programming Languages.
Teaching students new and more powerful ways of thinking about programs, this text contains a tutorial—full of examples—that explains all the essential concepts of Lisp programming, plus an up- to-date summary of ANSI Common Lisp, listing every operator in the language. Informative and fun, it gives students everything they need to start writing programs in Lisp both efficiently and effectively, and highlights such innovative Lisp features as automatic memory management, manifest typing, closures, and more.
