The Common LISP Companion

A self–contained, intermediate–level introduction to the structure and syntax of Common Lisp, this text is the first based on the draft ANSI standard for Common Lisp. Presents the concepts of object–oriented programming and incorporates the Common Lisp Object–Oriented Systems (CLOS) of the new ANSI standard. Includes end–of–section exercises. The end–of–chapter problems are answered at the back of the book.
