Author: I wanted to consolidate some of the steps I did to get the basic functionality for Common Lisp web applications (CRUD, User Authentication, Domains, etc.) as its a big pain to keep revisiting and troubleshooting which step I did wrong.
So I saved these notes in guide form, hopefully its useful for others. The trick is to extend a lot of this, all the hard parts are here - the rest is just basic Lisp, HTML, JavaScript, building upon this platform.
Highly recommend Lisp for Web Development, its *much, much better* than any of the other frameworks out there! So easy to use. Do learn HTML, CSS & JavaScript though. Esp. JavaScript as you would want to offload some of the computation to client-side to reduce your server costs.
Big Thanks to u/linnilbobo on Reddit for his code on user authentication in Hunchentoot - that was one of the missing pieces for me.
