The last time I dabbled in Lisp, the Lispcast videos ("create a Reddit
clone") were fairly new. That was obviously some time ago...

How up-to-date are they at this point? lispcast.com seems to have
moved on, so I can't even figure out if they were written for
Hunchentoot 1.0 or 1.1.

Is there a more-detailed description of the changes between
Hunchentoot 1.0 and 1.1 than the changelog?

Is the code from the videos available anywhere?

Are there any getting-started-with-Hunchentoot materials that are
especially recommended? Postabon's "A Simple Lisp Webapp for
Beginners" is good, but something more in-depth would be perfect.

Thanks,

Walter

Somehow I neglected to include a link:

I still haven't determined if the screencasts are up-to-date.

After locating the code for the first episode[1], is seems that the
LispCasts use Hunchentoot 1.0. For example, they use

(hunchentoot:start-server :port 8080)

which doesn't work in Hunchentoot 1.1.

I was wrong. They use 0.14.0. Evidence here:
