Re: Common Lisp Quick Reference
Serves me right for posting before reading -- I saw the same thing and posted a link in Books & Resources

Mindless Link Propagation
I argue that shared hosting is going to die out. If I'm right, that could be good news for Lisp-based web apps.
I'd be interested in getting feedback.

Re: Any book/resources on Requirements Specs?
I suppose I should add that the beauty of this is that Redmine and Trac can recognise issue numbers in source code checkins. In Requirements there's a lot of talk about traceability -- that you should be able to justify any code or test with a requirement, use case or business rule. It sounds fine i...

Re: Any book/resources on Requirements Specs?
At the moment we use it internally. Redmine (and I think most of what follows applies to Trac also) allows you to define custom fields for issue trackers. So for instance I have a Use Cases tracker with fields for the Primary Actor, Goal, Success Guarantees etc. Then I put the body of the use case i...

Re: Any book/resources on Requirements Specs?
I've usually worked from Software Requirements by Karl Wiegers. He promotes a lot of commercial tools, but at work we're experimenting with using Redmine (a Trac-alike) to store and track all our requirements.

Re: What are you doing in Common Lisp lately?
Learning it, essentially. I'm sick of reading articles about how it's awesome, will find me women and stitch up my socks etc etc. Instead I want to be in a position to nod knowingly, and stroke a deservedly-earned beard of wisdom. Also, I've expressed thoughts about writing the Last And Bestest Blog...

Re: What is the best git tutorial out there?
I've heard good things about the PeepCode stuff on git. They have a introductory screencast and an ebook about git internals. I've been meaning to pick them up.
I prefer the classic command-and-subcommand pattern of svn, mercurial et al; but git has too much momentum to be ignored at this stage.

Re: What's your favorite book about Lisp?
I'm working through ANSI Common Lisp as my holiday project. What it has over PCL is exercises, but the two books have different coverage of what is a pretty ginormous language.
I've found this site useful as a reference when I've finished my own solutions to the exercises.
