LispWorks HTTP Client/Server Movie
Friday, December 16, 2005
Sven Van Caekenberghe (the author of many cool CL packages as well as the excellent articles "A Day at the Beach" and "Rebel With A Cause" on creating web applications with Seaside and CL) has created a Lisp movie! He announced the movie on c.l.l. as follows:
"Not that anyone on this group needs convincing, but maybe it can used as marketing material:
I made my first Lisp Movie (Screencast) called Episode 1: HTTP Client and Server, showing how to use the HTTP protocol as client and server in Common Lisp, featuring the LispWorks IDE on Mac OS X.

This movie shows in less than 5 minutes how shockingly easy it is to do TCP/IP networking and multi threading in Lisp and how powerful an integrated, interactive development environment can be ;-) "
Gee, the Lisp movie making business is really starting to take off! A year ago, you could probably count the number of CL-related movies on the thumbs of one hand. Now, we are getting them on a regular basis. It's great to see videos from some of the prolific CL coders like Sven as I always find it interesting to watch the working style of experienced Lisp programmers!
