DESCRIPTION:
"This book isn't for learning VisualLISP/AutoLISP" according to The Sunburned Surveyor. If the CD doesn't accompany the book, the book is worthless. The majority of this book is simply a guide to the API included on the CD. To make matters worse, I don't believe the CD contains the source code for the API, which basically makes it a black box. The author also puts some fairly strict restrictions on how the files on the CD or programs written with the book's API can be distributed.This book isn't for someone . Tom Curtis said Visual Lisp : A guide to Artful Programming. The manual appears to be very good but without the use of the cd file containing all the functions, it's useless. The manual directs to run setup, which isn't there. Upon examination of the the four remaining files there is a list of the four files on cd, no setup and no apparrent way of doing it manually because there is no database of the functins. The manual also suggests downloading the latest version but the website . Not Very Useful D. Stein While I have always greatly respected the author, this book was a serious let-down. It continually focuses on using the author's custom functions to save time, but that completely circumvents the full learning process. You're learning how to use his custom toolset, not the language itself. It's a major handicap in my opinion.
