AutoLISP to Visual LISP: Design Solutions for AutoCAD 2000 adopts the designer's point-of-view to instruct readers with no prior experience in the basics of AutoLISP, Diesel and Visual LISP programming. Emphasis is on developing AutoCAD 2000 into a more powerful design application, with numerous design-based programming examples featured throughout the book, to put users on the fast-track to writing their own time-saving and productivity-enhancing programs. A "must-have" how-to and reference guide to optimizing the AutoCAD 2000 design environment, this book also covers topics such as ActiveX, object-oriented programming, reactors, the Windows™ registry, programming standards, date and time issues and more! Add this to your library today. AutoLISP to Visual LISP: Design Solutions for AutoCAD 2000 devotes an entire section to the novice programmer, explaining in detail the theory required to write a specialized computer program. Readers are first introduced to the basics of programming with AutoLISP. After gaining confidence using this relatively simple programming language, readers are then challenged to enhance their skills by using Diesel to alter the AutoCAD status line and DCL to incorporate graphics into their programs to make them user-friendly. Finally, readers are exposed to Visual LISP (presented as an extension of AutoLISP) to provide them with editing and debugging features, as well as other tools that can be used to create AutoLISP programs.

Beware of this book,
By A Customer
This review is from: AutoLISP to Visual LISP: Design Solutions: Design Solutions for AutoCAD 2000 (Autodesk's Programmer Series) (Paperback)
If you are looking for a book that will help you understand Visual Lisp - this is NOT it. Page after page of screen shots with a line or two of unhelpful text - you would be much better off just using AutoCAD help. Maybe the next book on VL will do more than scratch the surface.

Save yourself 50 odd dollars,
By H. derKinderen (Plymouth, Ma United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: AutoLISP to Visual LISP: Design Solutions: Design Solutions for AutoCAD 2000 (Autodesk's Programmer Series) (Paperback)
I found this book to be a jumble of disconnected terms. After reading the first two chapters I thought the rest of the book can go nowhere but up. I was wrong. The rest of the book maintained its confusing presentations. Even the supplied disk was as confusing as the book. If your looking to get into LISP programming STAY AWAY from this book. I guess I will spend another 30 or 40 dollars and try another LISP programming book.

Please Do not Waste Your Time and Money,
By A Customer
This review is from: AutoLISP to Visual LISP: Design Solutions: Design Solutions for AutoCAD 2000 (Autodesk's Programmer Series) (Paperback)
This book is of zero educational value. You will not find it useful. Some scattered information without any reasonable relationship. It is a waste of time and money. I am not quite sure why they have decided to publish such a useless book. You cannot even use it as a reference.
