Programming in Lua gives a solid base for any programmer who wants to use Lua. It covers all aspects of Lua—from the basics to its API with C—explaining how to make good use of its features and giving numerous code examples. The book is targeted at people with some programming background, but it does not assume any prior knowledge about Lua or other scripting languages. The first edition was aimed at Lua 5.0 and remains largely relevant, although there are some differences . The first edition is available online below.
Programming in Lua : contents
Paul Graham's On Lisp
With thanks to Alan Apt of Prentice Hall for giving me back the copyright and Chip Coldwell for reproducing it from the original tex files, here finally is a digital version of On Lisp . This is identical to the printed version, except that nine diagrams are missing. If you see a blank figure, that's what happened.Data Mining With R - learning with case studies
This book is about learning how to use R for performing data mining. The book follows a "learn by doing it" approach to data mining instead of the more frequent theoretical description of the techniques available in this discipline. This is accomplished by presenting a series of illustrative case studies for which all necessary steps, code and data are provided to the reader. The book writing style establishes it as a good source for practical classes on data mining, but also as an attractive document to professionals working on data mining in non-academic environments.
Squeak by Example
Squeak is a modern open-source development environment for the classic Smalltalk-80 programming language. Despite being the first purely object-oriented language and environment, Smalltalk is in many ways still far ahead of its successors in promoting a vision of an environment where everything is an object , and anything can change at run-time. Squeak by Example , intended for both students and developers, will guide you gently through the Squeak language and environment by means of a series of examples and exercises. Topics The book helps you get started with A Quick Tour of Squeak and guides you through A First Application .
This page, and the pages it links to, contain text of the Common Lisp book Practical Common Lisp published by Apress These pages now contain the final text as it appears in the book. If you find errors in these pages, please send email to book@gigamonkeys.com . These pages will remain online in perpetuity—I hope they will serve as a useful introduction to Common Lisp for folks who are curious about Lisp but maybe not yet curious enough to shell out big bucks for a dead-tree book and a good Common Lisp tutorial for folks who want to get down to real coding right away. However, don't let that stop you from buying the printed version available from Apress at your favorite local or online bookseller.

I distribute it from this web site by virtue of special permission from the publisher. You, most likely, do not have any such permission. It is the complete text of the second printing, which incorporates many minor corrections; the bootleg copies are all bootlegs of the first printing.
Higher-Order Perl
239 + xi pp. $24.95 This book is a collection of essays about a glamorous aspect of software: programming pearls whose origins lie beyond solid engineering, in the realm of insight and creativity. This book provides a guide for both students and experienced programmers about how to design and create programs, and how to think about programming. The book is full of small case studies, real examples, and interesting exercises for learning about how to program.
