I would suggest building the "To Do" app as a first step: http://liftweb.net/docs/getting_started/mod_master.html You'll get a lot of exposure to Lift in bite-sized chunks. Once you've gone through the demo, then you can move on to other things, including building your own authentication system. Why do I suggest this? (1) Learning Scala's syntax and some of Scala's idioms gives you better grounding for understanding ProtoUser (2) seeing how to build simple Mapper classes will give you a better understanding of the more complex ones (3) walking before you run helps you to not fall down and skin your knees. But we are here... the whole 1,500+ member Lift community. We take newbies very seriously and want to help them because we know that they'll help other newbies one day.
