Domuk No, not an
issue with
the PHP - I
was
responding
to "AJAX not
being cross
site is
annoying"
MaxMouse Really? i
thought that
would only
be important
if the user
had some
kind of
control over
where the
XML came
from, if you
hard code it
(As in a PHP
file)
wouldn't
that
eliminate
XSS attacks?
Domuk Yes, but
very, very
necessary.
AJAX
requests run
in the
context of
the browser,
there'd be
no security
if it was
cross-domain
.
MaxMouse AJAX not
being cross
site is
annoying,
all other
scripts can
be used in
that way,
having to
resort to
PHP to patch
it is a
shame.
This article will explain the necessary steps to install a common
lisp on your Ubuntu machine. By the end of this article you should be able to write some simple Common Lisp programs. It uses
GNU CLISP and is mainly geared
toward Ubuntu, though should work on Debian.
When you think Lisp, you probably think arcane, theoretical, or even useless. Well, let me tell you--I've forayed into Common Lisp deeper than I want to admit, and It's far from useless, only somewhat theoretical, and with some of the great books out there, it can seem a lot less arcane. That said, it's also much different than anything you're used to, I'm sure. Let's take a look at what's so different about it first. Then we'll see how we can use Common Lisp just like any other language.
