Interpreting Lisp : programming and data structures (Second edition)

Learn Lisp programming in a data structures context, including tables, functions, forms, expressions, typed-pointers, I/O, garbage collection and some applications.

This short primer contains a careful description of the data structures manipulated by Lisp functions.

These data structures and others, notably hash tables, are also used in constructing a Lisp interpreter.  Interpreting Lisp will be of special interest to those learning and using programming languages and computer architecture as well as data structures.

This book will be useful to autodidacts, professional programmers, and computer enthusiasts in a wide variety of fields.
