Pavel Penev is writing a book, Lisp Web Tales, about Web applications and Common Lisp. He describes it as a set of tutorials and examples. I’ve been meaning to write about this for some time because it seems like a nice way to explore Common Lisp in an environment that is likely to be familiar to most Irreal readers. I know far more about Lisp than I do about writing Web apps so I’m looking at this as a way of learning more about Web apps in the context of Lisp. Most readers, I’m sure, will look at it in the opposite way: a chance to learn Lisp in the context of Web apps.
Penev estimates that the book is about 80% complete so presumably he will be fleshing out the examples and polishing the text. In the mean time, the book looks to be ready for study. The link above takes you to a table of contents with links to the full text. You can also buy the book in PDF, EPUP, or MOBI. I’ve done that as a way of supporting the author but you can, if you like, just stick to the Web version. The book is being sold by Leanpup.com, which offers all updates for free so you needn’t worry that work on it is ongoing.
