As is usual the first application I build using UCW is a simple "Hello World!" program. UnCommon Web (UCW) lets you accomplish this task in many ways...

With the UCW source code is also included a demo program: demo/demo.lisp, which shows some of the functionalities of the framework.

This demo is mentioned in the getting-started.txt (doc/getting-started.txt) guide, under the ** Starting the demo title, here I share the steps I follow to put the demo up and running...

UCW includes a couple of examples to show you some features and how to programming with ucw.

First some background. In src the examples live in the examples directory of your UCW sources:...

For make a UCW App, currently the best way is to use the clbuild software facilities:

1. Get clbuild

darcs get http://common-lisp.net/project/clbuild/clbuild

Make it executable

$ cd clbuild
clbuild$ chmod +x clbuild

Check clbuild has all the dependencies it needs...

Here are the solutions for the exercises of chapter 03 of the book "ANSI Common Lisp" by Paul Graham

Have fun!

Mis respuestas a los ejercicios del capitulo 2 del libro "Ansi Common Lisp" de Paul Graham...

Peter Seibel write the best book for start to learn Common Lisp, and you can use it like your first Common Lisp tutorial too ;)

Another plus? you can read it for free in the web :).

Thank you Peter!

Hope this helps :-)

This days I face some problems with my Common Lisp Development Enviroment (SBCL + SLIME).

SLIME/cl-swank

First what happens was that swanks fails to connect, resulting in SLIME being unusable, see Debian bug #468087,...

Despues de muchos años de espera por fin Paul Graham ha liberado la primera versión publica de ARC, su lenguaje de programación tan anunciado.

El anuncio oficial esta aqui:
ARC's out

Lately slime-reindent-defun wasn't working so i'm suffering without it, today I decide bring it back to life, in my machine.

The cool error message who appears when I try to use C-c M-q said I need to look at the README file in the SLIME contrib directory which , in Debian Sid, says something like this:

 (add-to-list 'load-path "<this-directory>")
  (add-hook 'slime-load-hook (lambda () (require 'slime-fuzzy)))

Unfortunately adding that to my .emacs makes no difference, slime-reindent-defun was still disabled ... :(

A few days ago i finally could get the "Lisp style and design" book by Molly M. Miller and Eric Benson, i have waited for it almost a complete year, so it's great to own a copy now :)

I only could have leafed through of it and read the first pages but with that little looks like, to me, an excellent book, for example ...

Now i am eating my own dog food ;)

Using my own blog engine, called "Tlatoani" :-) , for power my blog page.

So don't trust in the links of this page for a while, because they will be very unstable in the near future :-)

I have waited long time for this book:

Object-Oriented Programming: The CLOS Perspective

A few days ago it finally arrived to my hands , and i'm very happy :-)

Now i have more homework to do ;)

Lisp es una família de lenguajes de programación descendientes de un lenguaje que invento John McCarthy (o mas precisamente, descubrió) a finales de los 1950s. Los dos dialectos principales hoy en día son ...

Finally!, a fundamental question answered ;-)

De Paul Graham:

Si Lisp es tan grandioso , ¿Porque no hay mas gente usandolo? Me hizo esta pregunta un estudiante entre el público a una charla que di recientemente.
No era la primera vez, de ningun modo....

Notas sobre la configuración de mod_lisp con Apache...

Paul Graham nos cuenta:

"Los visitantes de este país usualmente se sorprenden de que a los Estadounidenses les guste iniciar la conversación preguntando "A que se dedica?". A mi nunca me ha gustado esta pregunta. Raramente tenía una respuesta adecuada a esta pregunta. Pero creo que finalmente resolví el problema. Ahora, cuando alguien me pregunta a que me dedico, lo miro directamente a los ojos y le digo: estoy diseñando un nuevo dialecto de Lisp. Les recomiendo esta respuesta a cualquiera que no le guste que le pregunten a que se dedica. La conversación cambia inmediatamente hacia otros temas...."

Hay una especie de obsesión por la programación orientada a objetos en este momento, pero algunos de los programadores más listos que conozco se encuentran entre los menos excitados acerca de ella...
