You just specify the user interface in a declarative manner and the engine figures out how to convert it to HTML: [...] So, does any of this work? You bet it does! And coupled with closures-based actions, continuations-based control flow, stateful widgets, and a shiny new CLSQL backend store1, it may very well be the web development nirvana2. Download Weblocks, and see for yourself..."

This is an introductory review of Weblocks, a web framework written in Common Lisp...

Some people choose to draw their flow charts with the help of graphing paper. But others prefer to map out their flow charts with software like Dia. But like Dia is to GNOME, so Kivio is to KDE.

"I wrote Practical Common Lisp because I felt that Common Lisp needed a new introductory book that could ease folks raised on other languages into Common Lisp and then show them what it’s really all about..."

Through this book users will learn to design, develop, and test their web applications using the Spring Web Flow 2 framework. Java developers will be able to Integrate Java Server Faces (JSF) with Spring Web Flow to organize and manage the storage of data inside their web application.

"...For this project I’ve been looking into various frameworks for web application development, and I’ve come up with a combination I think works ok. To help others on their way, I’ve decided to create a small tutorial on how to create a blog with Hunchentoot, html-template and Elephant. This is just to introduce the frameworks and show how easy it can be..."

Most people are content to let their word processor determine hyphenation and text breaks for them. And, most of the time, the result is acceptable if they do. However, just as the default justification can be improved if you want to take the time, so can the text flow.

«Emacs would be faster, more powerful, and have the ability to access all of Guile's facilities -- the Scheme language, other languages implemented for Guile (Javascript, Lua, ...), a proper ffi, dynamically loadable libraries, a module system, the numeric tower (rationals, bignums, etc), Guile's existing libraries, delimited continuations (!), fast bytevector access, native threads, etc.» &mdas

It can be hard to get paid for producing free-licensed works. Software represents a niche where a lot of exceptions can be found, but for aesthetic works, the problem is severe. This has spurred a lot of innovative ideas for better incentive systems.
