Ex-Java programmer. Quit his job to buckle down and finally learn Lisp. Shortly thereafter got sucked into writing a book, Practical Common Lisp about it for Apress. Full text is available at http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/ as well as in treeware form at better booksellers. Having finished the book, Peter is now available for consulting projects--Lisp and otherwise--as the chief monkey of Gigamonkeys Consulting.
