2.0 out of 5 stars Not for beginners, July 23, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: A Practical Guide to AutoCAD AutoLISP (Paperback)
I would not recommend this book to those who are new to AutoLISP. Of the 200 pages in the book, only 39 were dedicated to "basic" AutoLISP programming. The rest of the book covered advanced techniques and the last third of the book was designed for the City & Guilds AutoLISP Programming Certificate, complete with assignments and tests. It did not cover the "basics" of AutoLISP and gave little or no explaination as to the theories and logic behind the steps involved. It was a "learn by example" approach, however, the examples were not always adequately explained and were sometimes exceedingly complex. As a beginner I gained very little from the book, but those more familiar with AutoLISP may find it to be a worthwhile purchase.

2.0 out of 5 stars Basic and Incomplete, June 7, 2001

This review is from: A Practical Guide to AutoCAD AutoLISP (Paperback)
At best a cursory introduction to AutoLISP. It lacks depth. Has no reference tables for AutoLISP functions, group codes, system variables or the like which would have made the book useful as a manual. Although Release 14 is mentioned I don't think had been updated for the new features. The fact that the author illustrates his examples using the edlin editor (an obsolete DOS 3.3 editor)says it all.
