Re: New to programming: Advice

The Structure and Implementation of Computer Programs is also very nice as an introduction to programming (via Scheme). First chapters of Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming can be used as a Common Lisp textbook with exercises. And of cource, as I started to learn Common Lisp through AN...

Re: GUI toolkits + CL implementations

I'm using Cells-GTK and CLG (two GTK bindings) with cl-opengl and cairo bindings (from CLG) on SBCL/Linux for real-time data visualization. I have no need to port the application to Windows, but if I should, I'd try ClozureCL + either of these GTK bindings, as GTK is avaivable for Windows, too.

As I'm doing essentially the same, I can say it would be very great to have such a beast ready off-the-shelf!
Just please beware of UCW/Weblocks plague: if you release something, make its examples work straight out of .tar.gz, and make them easy to adapt.

Re: Clozure Lisp CGI Programming

Funny thing: I'm doing the same right now! CGI isn't very "cool" today, and Lisp isn't supposed to be particularly suited for CGI due to long startup time, and yet there are two persons simultaneously making CGIs with CCL :) My Clozure CGI works fine with Apache on Windows XP, but fails mi...
