3 weeks

That’s the time I have to read this book, 3 weeks. The book is “Computer Science handbook” by Allen B. Tucker, and consists of a compilation of articles covering what is computer science nowadays. Is it possible to read a 2500 pages book in 3 weeks? I guess not… But I’m gonna try it.

The fact is that the book costs about 20000 yen, and even getting it on eBay was difficult, so I asked the libray in my university to find it in another university’s library. The problem is that it’s just for a limited period and I have to give it back by January 5th…

More about LISP

I have been updating a little the section for development, cause I want to give it try. In Anderson’s words, if you don’t show that you can do stuff, people will think that you just can’t do stuff.

Anyway, thank again to the Advanced Software Systems subject I’ve been losing my time with JavaCC (Java Compiler Compiler) a kind of add-on for Java that given a properly defined grammar will automatically generate the necessary classes for the interpreter and eventually create a compiler, among other stuff. With this, I’ve just defined a grammar for LISP, very simple but cool, given that it’s the first grammar I define using JavaCC. More to come?

As for the previous thingy, I created a page for mylisp (JavaCC) at the LISP section of Development, for those of you wishing to know about it.
