Customer Reviews

a GREAT book for beginners

No exageration--this book changed my life!!-from a simple Autocad draftsman, dependent on others, I learned how to write my own programs and adapt Autocad to the specific needs of my office. I had no programming experience, but I quickly became the office expert--and my paycheck shows the results!!

A great resource on Autolisp programming!

I learned Autolisp in school about 6 years ago and like most students promptly forgot it as soon as the test was over. This book has proved invaluable in reacquiring the programming skills I learned (and forgot) so long ago. It is probably the best book for beginners in Autocad as well as Autolisp programming since most of it is explained in a simple and easy to understand fashion.

Best beginners AutoLISP book ever!!

I have been using AutoCAD/AutoLISP since 1984 and this book helped me get started. After reading and using the examples I easily increased my productivity using AutoCAD 20-30%. I currently suport and teach AutoCAD classes and AutoLISP in Plain English is the text book I use for my introduction class to AutoLISP. George Head makes the most technical concepts easy to understand and [even more important] to implement. The examples used are easy to follow and can be readily modified for use in any industry. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning AutoLISP
