What it does

Build Your Own Lisp teaches C through a project that develops a Lisp-like programming language.

Follow the language-building project rather than treating the chapters as disconnected C examples. Each addition has a purpose in the interpreter. The online book is a useful route when you want a sustained implementation project with a clear destination.
