I thought I replied to this, apologies if it comes up twice. I found the problem, the HTML shows tildes (~) rather than quotes ("). The PDF is fine (though copy and paste doesn't work as well). I assumed it was a Lift or Scala weirdness. Next question, where to file a bug about this? Dano!

Ah ha! Found the problem. The HTML shows tildes (~) instead of quotes ("). The PDF looks OK, but cut and paste doesn't work very well (formatting spaces lost, extra info like page numbers if copied across a page boundry). So the new question is if there is a place to log the error with the HT

This looks like a problem with the HTML. According to the corresponding PDF, many of those tildes in the HTML should actually be quotation marks. I'd recommend using the PDF here: http://liftweb.net/docs/StartingWithLift.pdf Sam Reid On Apr 3, 4:19 pm, "Dano!" wrote: > Good morning, > > Scal

My advice, if your generally / vaugly familiar with Scala from reading PiS (that truly is a very unfortunate acronym!) just dive into making a lift app, then go from there. One of the best things about Lift is the community - if you have questions, chances are its either already in the group arc

Good morning, Scala has been getting some interest in the project I work with, and I've been asked to investigate the Lift framework as a possibility to migrate our custom coded website to it. I'm a Scala newbie, so I'm working on absorbing a lot in a short period of time. I'm having problems

[Lift] Re: Advice on Ramping Up

I'd suggest that you start working in Lift, then when you encounter something that doesn't make sense to you, refer to the PiS book (unfortunate acronym). It helps if you have the PDF version because you can search. The index is OK, but often insufficient. This is the approach I used to get st
