I wrote this - a little out of date, but hopefully a good and short introduction. What was fun about writing this book was that many Lisp heavy hitters helped out with ideas and corrections.

BTW, I am working on another Lisp book, specific to Franz AllegroGraph (RDF, SPARQL, etc.) I plan on releasing a free PDF, with a print book also available.


Thank you sir! A Lisp book is always welcome.


"I am working on another Lisp book, specific to Franz AllegroGraph"

I've been curious about AllegroGraph. Too many Lisp books take an academic / implementation-agnostic approach. Lookng forward to reading it!


You mention RDF / SparQL ... any interesting progress on Graph Query languages?

Im suspicious of RDF, it comes across as marketing.


Thanks for writing this good book. I've dared to link it here.


Thanks!


More material for my "Stuff to Read" dropbox folder, so thank you very much


Thanks!
