http://www.aaronfeng.com/articles/2008/02/14/slime-video-and-transcript en-us 40 Adventures in software development <p>Learning Lisp has been a challenge so far. I'm plunging my way through <a href="http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/">Practical Common Lisp</a> at a decent pace though. Learning Lisp development environment is another story. Since all the hardcore Lisp hackers are all using emacs with slime I figured I would do the same. I have no previous experience with emacs, so I'm simultaneously learning 3 things at once.</p> <p>One night I came across <a href="http://www.cl-user.net/asp/web-sites/slime-video">Maco Baringer's slime video</a>. After I watched the video, all the dots in my head started to connect. In the video, Maco demonstrated the usage of slime while he developed a morse code application. I kept rewinding to figure out the key strokes used. Recently <a href="http://www.pchristensen.com/blog/">Peter Christensen</a> wrote a <a href="http://www.pchristensen.com/blog/articles/reference-for-the-slimelispemacs-screencast/">transcript for the slime video</a>. This made the video much easier to follow. Christensen also has a transcript for <a href="http://common-lisp.net/movies/hello-world.mov">Baringer's Hello World video</a> using <a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/ucw/">Uncommon Web</a> framework.</p> <p>Besides the transcripts, Christensen is also working on <a href="http://www.pchristensen.com/blog/articles/tooting-my-own-horn/">emacs/slime cheat sheet</a>. As a noob learning Lisp, I need all the help I can get.</p> Thu, 14 Feb 2008 00:30:00 -0500 urn:uuid:838e2fb2-15c9-4f6c-9a86-ad20c41088e6 Aaron Feng http://www.aaronfeng.com/articles/2008/02/14/slime-video-and-transcript tools programming <p>The Cheat Sheet is up, thanks to your encouragement!</p> <p><a href="http://www.pchristensen.com/blog/articles/public-beta-open-for-ultimate-n00b-slimeemacs-cheat-sheet/">http://www.pchristensen.com/blog/articles/public-beta-open-for-ultimate-n00b-slimeemacs-cheat-sheet/</a></p> Thu, 14 Feb 2008 12:04:28 -0500 urn:uuid:7f3713dd-1bb7-415f-9d0b-a2c8d8bccdb3 http://www.aaronfeng.com/articles/2008/02/14/slime-video-and-transcript#comment-4343 <p>I have been having trouble finding my way around Lisp too.
