Desc: Let Over Lambda is one of the most hardcore
computer programming books out there. Starting with
the fundamentals, it describes the most advanced
features of the most advanced language: COMMON LISP.
The point of this book is to expose you to ideas that
you might otherwise never be exposed to.

This book is about macros, that is programs that write
programs. Macros are what make lisp the greatest
programming language in the world. When used properly,
macros enable amazing feats of abstraction, programmer
productivity, and code efficiency and security that
are unheard of elsewhere. Macros let you do things you
simply cannot do in other languages.

If you are looking for a dry coding manual that
re-hashes common-sense techniques in whatever langue
du jour, this book is not for you. This book is about
pushing the boundaries of what we know about
programming. While this book teaches useful macro
skills that can help solve your programming problems
today and now, it has also been designed to be
entertaining and inspiring. If you have ever wondered
what lisp or even programming itself is really about,
this is the book you have been looking for.

Notes: Text is a fully searchable djvu made from a
scan of the book. Djvu was the chosen format rather
than pdf, as djvu offers numerous technical
advantages, analogous to the shift from avi to mkv.
The bottom line to you is better quality and smaller
file sizes. On the whole, the quality of the ebook
is good. Pages have been deskewed, dewarped, ocred
text layer for searching, indexed, and bitonalized.

In the current setup, scanning books is very
tedious and time consuming, so don't expect a large
number of these book scan releases in the future,
only books worth the work (such as this one) will be
completed.
