Flavors - A non-hierarchical approach to object-oriented programming, by Howard I. Cannon, 1979 (PDF) - Object-oriented programming systems have typically been organized around hierarchical inheritance. Unfortunately, this organization restricts the usefulness of the object-oriented programming paradigm. This paper presents a non-hierarchically organized object-oriented system, an implementation of which has been in practical use on the MIT Lisp Machine since late 1979.
Unifying Software Elements with LISP-based Object-Oriented Technology, Markus Fischer, Symbolics (PDF) - The paper describes the use of object-oriented techniques throughout all layers of software, in the design and the implementation phase. These techniques increase the productivity of the software engineer as well as the user's benefit from the application. Several tools and their interdependencies are described and supported with some examples. The resulting methodology is needed in order to match today's needs of innovative industrial users.

CL-HTTP Primer - The aim of this primer is therefore to give minimal examples, to illustrate what is needed to write a number of typical applications. These will help you to understand the basic principles of CL-HTTP's operation, and can serve as templates for creating real Web applications in Lisp.
