- BOOK DESCRIPTION
-
- 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.
