You will learn here the benefits of dynamic, object-oriented programming, and how to write practical Dylan programs.
Dylan Programming gets you started quickly, with a simple but complete program that lets you experiment with the language. It then leads you progressively through the development of a sample application, illustrating advanced topics such as macros, modules, libraries, inher itance, performance, and exceptions. This book is appropriate for any Dylan implementation. It assumes that you can program in some conventional language, but requires no prior knowledge of object-oriented or dynamic techniques.

Keene, author of Object-Oriented Programming in COMMON LISP, publishes large documents on the World Wide Web. Robert O. Mathews was previously the OSF documentation project leader for Motif and DCE.
