Lisp has been hailed as the worlds most powerful programming language, but its cryptic syntax and academic reputation can be enough to scare off even experienced programmers. Those dark days are finally overLand of Lisp brings the power of functional programming to the people!With his brilliantly quirky comics and outofthisworld games, longtime Lisper Conrad Barski teaches you the mysteries of Common Lisp. Youll start with the basics, like list manipulation, I/O, and recursion, then move on to more complex topics like macros, higher order programming, and domainspecific languages. Then, when your brain overheats, you can kick back with an actionpacked comic book interlude!Along the way youll create (and play) games like Wizard Adventure, a text adventure with a whiskeysoaked twist, and Grand Theft Wumpus, the most violent version of Hunt the Wumpus the world has ever seen.You'll learn to:Master the quirks of Lisps syntax and semanticsWrite concise and elegant functional programsUse macros, create domainspecific languages, and learn other advanced Lisp techniquesCreate your own web server, and use it to play browserbased gamesPut your Lisp skills to the test by writing brainmelting games like Dice of Doom and Orc BattleWith Land of Lisp, the power of functional programming is yours to wield.
