"This specially prepared work compromises a living archive of important programming languages, described by the people most instrumental in their creation and development. Drawn from the ACM/SIGPLAN Second History of Programming Languages Conference, this volume, like the earlie…
The CLOS metaobject protocol is a high-performance extension to the CommonLisp Object System. The authors, who developed CLOS, introduce this approach to programming language design, describe its evolution and design principles and present a specification of a metaobject protoco…
This practical guide provides more than 150 recipes to help you generate high-quality graphs quickly, without having to comb through all the details of R's graphing systems. Each recipe tackles a specific problem with a solution you can apply to your own project, and includes a …
Looks at one object-oriented programming language, the Common-Lisp Object System (CLOS), as a modern programming tool. The text reveals the thoughts behind the design of the language, its intended use and its impact on object-oriented design and programming.
Do you have a biological question that could be readily answered by computational techniques, but little experience in programming? Do you want to learn more about the core techniques used in computational biology and bioinformatics? Written in an accessible style, this guide pr…
