A Heroku buildpack for Common Lisp

In this post, we are going to build a demo web application in Common Lisp with search, sort and pagination functionalities with a tabular data.

Building a Rentals Listing web app in Common Lisp In this post, we are going to build a simple Rentals listing web application with Common Lisp. The application lists different rentals on the home page with the photo of the property and the location of the property with a map. When you click one of the rentals you get to see the details in a separate page. It also got a couple of pages for About and Contact.

Lisp for the web - 5 This is a post about using Common Lisp for web development. Lisp is one of the oldest programming languages that has been still used today. It has been dubbed as the `programmable programming language` for it's great extensible characteristics. It has pioneered many programming concepts like recursion and macros. There has been many great posts about using Lisp for Web development in the past.

In this post, we are going to build a Twitter clone demo application using htmx. Before diving into the tutorial, let me tell you the background story about why I decided to build this app using htmx. It all started with this blog post on A List Apart by Matt E. Patterson called The Future of Web Software Is HTML-over-WebSockets. In this article Matt talks about the advantages of sending HTML over the wire via AJAX requests or Web Sockets and the performance benefits they offer and he mentions tools and libraries like Hotwire, StimulusReflex and so on.

In this post, I am going to share some of my experiences and the benefits of using htmx to build modern, rich and interactive web applications driven by HTML which can serve as an alternative to the bloated, JavaScript heavy Single Page Application (SPA) approach. HTML is the center of the universe HTML and CSS are the basic building blocks of the web. JavaScript was supposed to be a glue to work these two and to add some amount of interactivity and dynamism to our pages.

In this article we are going to take a look at an Ember.js addon called ember-csz which provides template helpers for csz, a Runtime CSS-Modules with SASS like pre-processing. This is based on a talk I gave recently at ESNextConf. I just wanted to experiment the same with Ember.js and it came out well. I liked it very much the idea of keeping your styles as part of your component.js just like how the React community uses other awesome CSS-in-JS solutions like Styled Components and Emotion.

I have been thinking about playing songs inside Spacemacs for quite a while, so that I don’t have to leave my favorite editor for just playing music. After a small exploration I found out that all I need is to enable EMMS inside Spacemacs. Spacemacs Spacemacs is a community-driven Emacs distribution. It is a new way to experience Emacs with a sophisticated and polished set-up focused on ergonomics, mnemonics and consistency.

nvm is a version manager for Node.js, designed to be installed per-user, and invoked per-shell. nvm works on any POSIX-compliant shell (sh, dash, ksh, zsh, bash), in particular on these platforms: Unix, Mac OS, and Windows WSL. But most of the times, it is not properly identified by eshell in Spacemacs. Recently I found out a package called nvm.el by Johan Andersson. Let’s walk you through how you can use nvm to choose different Node.

What is Spacemacs? Spacemacs is a community-driven Emacs distribution. It is a new way to experience Emacs with a sophisticated and polished set-up focused on ergonomics, mnemonics and consistency. What is Prettier? Prettier is an opinionated code formatter which supports many languages and integrates with most editors. It can be installed through npm. It is recommended to install prettier globally in your system so that your editor integrates it properly and can be even made to auto formatted while saving your files.
