Hi guys, I saw some posts on Scala website about helping newcomers and I was wondering if some of you would be kind enough to help me out to start with Scala/Lift. My main problem is I am not a programmer yet but I really really want to be, I've been studying Ruby/Rails, Php/Zend/Symfony,Mvc,Design Patterns,Uml,Sql and some Java. I read some books but I don't get my head to think like a programer. I really like OO,Design Patterns, Uml but I don't know how to apply that to a full application, how to link everything together, classes,objects(books about that?Not about those items but how to put everything together)...I know a lot of the theory and concepts but no practice. I have all july available to learn that 12 hours a day or more if necessary I just need a push, someone to teach/help me out. What's more, I saw a post saying that I could learn Scala from scratch without learning Java, it's possible, not so much with Groovy. If it's not what parts of Java do I need to know, in case some of you tell me learn Java first(the easy answer).Do I need a lot of experience in Java to jump in in Scala? I know it helps but I would like to finish my first e-commerce in august, 100% opensource in Scala if possible.
P.s:I did 2 years of Computer Science C++ and 2 years of Civil Engineering over 12 years ago both unfinished. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lift" group.
