Yes I can confirm this is 100% for sure- It's all completed except for post production stuff. Sorry there is still a wait ahead... I'm really happy with how it turned out, though.

Awesome, I've been waiting for this particular book to come out.

Also, I'm in NoVA area... Any word when/if fringedc will start up again? Any help needed? Not to distract you from your real work anyway.


My main problem with FringeDC is the lack of a steady meeting space... Let me know if you have any ideas.


Congratulations. Looking forward to it. Any chance you'll be releasing an e-book version also?


Dr. Barski,

I will be back in D.C. mid June. Is the monthly Fringe meetup still ongoing? Would love to meet.


Are there an excerpts from the book available? I didn't see any and was curious


What version(s) of Lisp does it use? On what platforms?


With a name like that, it really should have a cover that allows some nerdly variation on the Land O' Lakes boob trick.


Not a good time to sell Lisp. Too many interesting languages succeeding out there..


Succeeding? Yes. More interesting than Lisp? Definitely not.


More like lisp by another name. Clojure for instance.


That's what I meant..
