4-0 out of 5 stars Indespensible; but not always an easy reference to read
Anyone who will create more than the most trivial program in Dylan must have this reference (hereinafter referred to as the DRM).The author and contributors have no want of status for the Dylan community:Andrew Shalit(principle inventor of the language), David Moon (a luminary in advanced OOresearch, one of the board members for the Common Lisp Object Systemspecification), and Orca Starbuck (who helped write the first book on Java:_Hooked on Java_ (a delightful work)).They have produced an authoritativework.I will discuss what this book is not (very briefly), itsorganization, where it fails and where it succeeds.Read more

1-0 out of 5 stars Incomplete and riddled with errors.
The book is limited from the outset by deliberate decisions to ignore some of Dylan's more important and powerful features (multiple inheritance, for instance). To that it adds glaring technical errors when comparing Dylan toother languages, right in the beginning, before anything gets reallytechnical. To that it adds multiple typos per page. I quit reading afterChapter 2 and returned it for a refund, something that I have NEVER donebefore with any technical book!Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars From the fruits, an excellent book for teaching Dylan
As the instructor of "Practical Object-Oriented Programming" (a 5-week course that uses Dylan that teaches object/functional application in the software domain), I chose _Dylan Programming_ as the text book.It iswell-suited to the methodology of teaching programming:the chapters canbe comprehended by people with no programming background (I had two suchstudents), yet the material is stimulating so that even experiencedprogrammers find it useful.Married with the Functional Developer (a DylanIDE), _Dylan Programming_ makes teaching, orlearning, Dylan quick and easy.4-0 out of 5 stars Excellent for Dylan newbies and not-so-newbies alike
While primarily aimed at people just learning Dylan, this book has some great info for people who already understand Dylan reasonably well (the chapter on performance is especially valuable.)The book is well written,and the information in the book is very accurate.4-0 out of 5 stars Very good programming book
I think this is one of the better programming books I've seen, in that it is task-oriented. The authors have a goal of building a program to do airport scheduling; while they are building this program, they are teachingyou Dylan. Consequently, you are learning how to do a real-world task(well, at least someone's real world task) rather than just a bunch ofexample programs that don't correlate well or at all. Along the way, theyare teaching you how to build classes and methods effectively, which issadly lacking in most other programming tomes.Read more
