Course Lisp Programming

In the course Lisp Programming participants learn to develop applications in the functional programming language Lisp. Lisp is one of the oldest programming languages, but has been modernized to a significant degree in the course of its existence. Lisp is a machine independent language and is ideally suited for Artificial Intelligence software, because Lisp can process symbolic information effectively. The most commonly used Lisp dialects today are Common Lisp and Scheme .

    Lisp Intro

    The course starts with a discussion of the fundamentals of functional programming and expression evaluation. Next the program structure of Lisp applications, symbolic expressions and the macro system are discussed. Attention is also paid to atoms, lists and strings.

    Lisp Syntax

    Like any programming language, Lisp has variables, types and various control flow constructs. These are discussed in the module language syntax.

    Functions

    And also functions in Lisp are treated with the defun macro, with optional, rest and keyword parameters and with return values. Attention is also paid to typical functional functions such as lambdas and mapping functions.

    Data Structures

    Subsequently the various data structures that Lisp has to offer are on the course schedule such as sequences, lists and arrays, record structures, property lists, trees, hashtables and sets. The operations on these data structures such as unions and intersections between sets are also discussed.

    Lisp I/O

    And also input and output in Lisp applications is treated. This covers Stream I/O, input and output functions and reading and writing from and to files.

    Classes and Structures

    Finally the course concludes with a discussion of classes and structures in Lisp. The bundling of code in packages and the reuse of code by means of inheritance are also treated.

    Audience Course Lisp Programming

    The course Lisp Programming is intended for anyone who wants to learn programming in the functional programming language Lisp.

    Prerequisites Course Lisp Programming

    In order to participate in this course basic knowledge of programming in another programming language is beneficial to understanding but is not required.

    Realization Training Lisp Programming

    The theory is discussed on the basis of presentation slides. The theory is further explained through demos. After discussing a module there is the possibility to practice. Course times are from 9.30 to 16.30.

    Certification Lisp Programming

    After successful completion of the course, participants receive an official certificate Lisp Programming.
