Lift, Play, Blueeyes, Scalatra... We have many frameworks available now. For the specific goal of *learning Scala* though, I'd advise against Lift. It may, arguably, be the most comprehensive framework currently available, but it also adds a heft learning curve in its own right and breaks a lot of the Scala idioms * best practices that are currently emerging across the ecosystem.
For a quick start, shallow learning curve, minimum surprise value, and fast turnaround between changing code and seeing the effect - Play is probably your best choice (in absence of other deciding criteria).
