Lisp Programming for AI and Automation is a practical beginner’s guide to Common Lisp, written for readers who want clear foundations without heavy academic theory. It focuses on real programming workflows with SBCL, the REPL, Quicklisp, ASDF, symbolic data structures, automation scripts, rule evaluators, macros, CLOS, and small AI-style projects built around visible, traceable logic.
This book takes you from your first Lisp expressions to useful symbolic and automation-focused programs. You will learn Common Lisp syntax, functions, data structures, file handling, text processing, rule-based logic, macros, metaprogramming, object-oriented design with CLOS, and final projects that connect symbolic reasoning with practical automation workflows.
Inside you will learn how to:
- Understand Lisp, Common Lisp, symbolic computing, AI history, and practical automation use cases
- Set up a Common Lisp environment with SBCL, the REPL, Quicklisp, ASDF, and editor workflows
- Work with S-expressions, prefix notation, symbols, strings, numbers, booleans, variables, bindings, quoting, and evaluation
- Write functions, conditionals, recursion, loops, higher-order functions, and clear Common Lisp program flow
- Use lists, cons cells, sequences, arrays, vectors, hash tables, association lists, and property lists for automation data
- Build a task automation data tool for priorities, statuses, records, and simple decision support
- Read and write files, process text, create automation scripts, and generate text reports
- Represent symbolic facts, conditions, rules, and structured knowledge in readable Lisp forms
- Build a basic rule evaluator and mini expert system for explainable recommendations
- Write practical macros, inspect macro expansion, avoid macro mistakes, and create a rule definition macro
- Use CLOS with classes, objects, slots, generic functions, methods, multiple dispatch, and workflow-based program design
- Build final projects including a symbolic calculator, rule-based troubleshooting assistant, and mini DSL for automation rules
You do not need months of abstract theory to begin writing useful Lisp programs. With step-by-step explanations, compact examples, and hands-on projects, this book helps you build Common Lisp confidence while learning symbolic reasoning, rule-based systems, macros, and automation.
Get Lisp Programming for AI and Automation today and start building practical Common Lisp skills for symbolic computing, rule-based logic, automation scripts, macros, CLOS, mini expert systems, and explainable AI-style projects.

Store description
**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
