Who this book is for? Anyone interested in getting the most out of their web applications and who appreciates the power and flexibility of the Scala programming language. A basic understanding of Scala is assumed, so if you're not familiar with it we would suggest reading David Pollak's excellent book, Beginning Scala, http://apress.com/book/view/1430219890 . --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Lift Book" group.
