More about the book

Find solutions to common problems and answers to questions encountered when writing real-world applications in Common Lisp. Covering diverse areas such as web programming, databases, graphical user interfaces, multi-threading, and mobile devices, this book also delves into debugging techniques and optimization. Authored by someone with over a decade of experience in successful commercial projects using Common Lisp, it uniquely addresses advanced topics like environment access, logical pathnames, Gray streams, executable delivery, pretty printing, setf expansions, and syntax modifications. Organized around specific problems or questions, each section includes ready-to-use example solutions and clear explanations of the underlying concepts, along with pointers to alternatives and further information. Each recipe stands alone, making it a valuable reference work to keep within reach.
