Common Lisp Recipes is a collection of solutions to problems you are likely to encounter when writing real-world applications in Common Lisp. Written by an author who has used Common Lisp in many successful commercial projects over more than a decade, the book covers areas such as web programming, databases, graphical user interfaces, mobile devices, communication with other programming languages, and multi-processing as well as debugging techniques, optimization, and advanced uses of the Common Lisp object system (CLOS), to name just a few.§§It is organized around specific problems each followed by a complete, ready-to-use solution and a clear explanation of what the solution does and why, plus pointers to alternatives and more information. Each recipe can be read independently of the others and thus the book will hopefully earn a special place on your bookshelf as a reference work you always want to have within reach.§§This book is aimed at programmers who are already familiar with Common Lisp to a certain extent but do not yet have the experience you typically only get from years of hacking in a specific computer language. It is written in a style that mixes hands-on no-frills pragmatism with precise information and prudent mentorship. If you feel attracted to Common Lisp's mix of breathtaking features and down-to-earth utilitarianism, you'll also like this book.§§
