Hi,



I am new to Lisp, I did read some Lisp books but none
of those explained how to develop and serve LISP Web Pages. I´ve seen there´s
the araneida project, but I am a lot lost yet. 



Is there a tutorial on developing web pages in lisp
(I mean, for programmers of other languages, rather than for Lisp hackers)? I
wanna try Lisp at my webpages and maybe at work too, I use PHP, perl and C/C++
right now, so I already know about web programming but I could not create a
Lisp program, except when running inside Lisp environment (what was not bad,
but not what I needed), so how could I create a Lisp Web page, compile it and
run it in a server (Apache, for example). 



Actually I work with “Lisp in a box” with
CLisp in windows. 



Is there a way to compile a lisp program to run
outside the lisp environment?



 



Thanks in advance for any answer,



Andre.



 



PS: I am sorry for my poor writing English, I hope it
is not too bad.

    When you use Perl, PHP, or C to serve pages, you're using CGI (or similar features in Apache).

Apache receives HTTP requests, and starts up the Perl script to generate a page.

It's possible to do something similar with Lisp; search for "mod_lisp".

However, most Lisp web applications get rid of Apache from this  equation. The Lisp application handles the entire HTTP request; you don't tear down the application between requests any more than you restart Apache each time you serve a page.

Both Araneida and (Portable) AllegroServe provide complete web stacks; run Lisp, load them, start a server, and it'll start handling requests.

You can, if you wish, run your Lisp application behind Apache, but this is only really worthwhile if you wish to use Apache to serve other pages. There are other solutions, too; see http://apsis.ch/pound and THTTPD.

Furthermore, if you want to do something PHP-like (i.e., a single page mixing HTML and code), try
