Thank you, you just described me. After spending about 7 years doing deep learning gigs with very high pay, lots of responsibility and pressure, and more hours in my work week than I liked, I recently took a job as an advisor and some Common Lisp development responsibilities and with very reduced working hours. I work 15 hours a week. I have written a few Common Lisp books and my new company is all-in using Common Lisp.
- CraigJPerry 4y agoHey Mark, you had me at "Common Lisp" so i googled and i had a skim through https://leanpub.com/lovinglisp https://leanpub.com/lovinglisp - it looks right up my street. Over the past couple of months I've taken to coffee breaks in the garden with lisp / scheme / clojure books. Books about the size of the little/reasoned schemer work well but stuff like HTDP is hard to balance! Anyway, your section on ql setup & integration with emacs is way better than the official docs having gone through this only a few months ago. Am i able to buy a physical copy / print on demand? Neither Amazon nor LeanPub are giving me the option (I'm UK based). Waterstones will let me POD your "Common Lisp Modules" book but that doesn't look as relevant for me (someone who's fallen for lisp but still very much learning). I do have a kindle but i've become one of those divisive types who now freely writes margin notes in his books.
- mark_l_watson 4y agoHello Craig, if you can, stick with the PDF/MOBI/ePub formats instead of sending a PDF off to Lulu to print (which is easy enough to do). My eBooks are my hobby and I update them fairly frequently, which is why I stopped selling printed versions.
