Teacher evaluates this as a textbook/learning guide.

By Ben on December 2, 1997

Format: Paperback

This review of AutoLISP Programming: Principles and Techniques by Rawls & Hagen, 1996 ed. is being submitted by Ben Waggoner, an AutoCAD & AutoLISP instructor at Pinellas Technical Education Center, Clearwater, Florida.
I decided to use this textbook in my classes for its straightforward reduction of the AutoLISP language to understandable English. Given this book, a computer lab to work in, and minimal instructor guidance, students who have never programmed in any language before can quickly begin to write simple programs to enhance their productivity with AutoCAD. Simple exercises both introduce the beginner to AutoLISP and at the same time start him/her thinking about "how this might be expanded just a little" to become extremely useful in a work situation.
The text covers some fundamentals of programming that can be carried over into any language one might tackle later (such as good documentation and error-trapping), and these practices are demonstrated in the sample programs. The lessons (chapters) are organized logically in bite-size portions, and have "professional tips" that students can keep in mind as they advance through the exercises. In addition, the book has several appendices of important information for AutoLISP programmers. Tables of DXF codes and a quick-reference for functions are vital for programmers (one can't possibly remember *everything*) but are left out of many books claiming to be AutoLISP references. However, Rawls & Hagen did include them, so I feel that my students are not just buying a textbook for class, but a reference they can continue to use as they cultivate their programming abilities.
With that said, I do have a complaint about this book.Read more ›

My Opinion

By Eugene N. Kilmer on September 17, 2000

Format: Paperback

The first reference I ever looked at for writing AutoLISP code was this one, written for R12. I had enrolled in a class that was supposed to teach AutoLISP code, but the class was cancelled because there was only one student in it. When I heard that bad news, I asked the instructor what text he had planned to use and I went out and purchased it myself, it being this text.
I went from knowing nothing about AutoLISP code to writing dialog box driven routines to create 3D houses from a 2D floor plan. The text is clear and well written. There are examples illustrating the topics covered in each chapter. There are professional tips that go a step beyond the basics and provide advice for making your custom application look and behave like an integral AutoCAD command. The text moves at a good pace and in a good direction, making it a good one for a classroom environment. In fact, a couple of years after teaching myself basic AutoLISP code, I found myself the instructor for an advanced AutoLISP course at a community college and I chose this book as the textbook.
I have run across a few typographical errors and some coordination errors between the index and the text, but all in all I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn how to write AutoLISP code, as well as anyone who has written a little and would like to know more. I am eagerly awaiting the next release that will cover Visual LISP.

highly suggest for the beginner

By A Customer on June 17, 1999

Format: Paperback

I have suggested this book to many people in person and on the internet. It had a little of everything and is very good at introducing the reader to the world of Autolisp. As an experienced programmer of other languages I had many questions of how to go on, but was very pleased with it as an intro book.

Excellent Reference

By Craig Black on November 8, 2000

Format: Paperback

I have read the other reviews and agree with some and disagree with others. This book is an excellent reference, Appendix B is worthe price all by itself. Appendix A *IS* an alphabetized list of all the AutoLISP functions. Although it does not explain *all* uses of *all* functions, I challenge anyone to show me a book that does! A fine book that I have recommended hundreds of times to hundreds of students. When I sit down to write code, this book is always within arm's reach.

Basics only. Advanced concepts are sorely lacking.

By Gabriel Pettit (GamesMstr@aol.com) on January 8, 1999

Format: Paperback

My biggest complaint with this book is the lack of examples. Readers are shown only the simplest uses for commands, and are left to fend for themselves when it comes to complicated concepts. Command syntax is never fully explored, so readers are left guessing what else can be used besides the examples given. This book is average for teaching basics, but fails to hit the mark for advanced concepts.

Basic hand-holding text

By A Customer on September 6, 1998

Format: Paperback

This is a text which covers the basic elements of writing AutoLISP code. It suffers from trying to start at too low a level (explaining, for example, how to use a computer) and pitches too slowly. The authors perhaps have not read Abelson and Sussman's "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs". Although the advertising blurb claims that it covers all AutoLISP functions, it lacks in clarity of presentation, and has no function-by-function alphabetized reference listing. Given the paucity of AutoLISP texts, this is an acceptable book. Were there more sophisitcated texts available, it would be one to avoid.

Where are the solutions

By Thomas E. Flaherty on June 6, 2002

Format: Paperback

While I found this book very helpful in introducing me to AutoLISP and the exercises are educational & informative, I have two major problems with this book. First, the solutions to the exercises don't exists; there are several exercises I was unable to do successfully after various attempts and there was no solution to help me understand what I was doing wrong. Second, there is no way to contact the authors when the above mentioned situation arises. If they write further additions I hope they will address these issues. I would not recommend this book to a beginner, but it might be helpful to intermediate or advanced users.
