Re: [Lift] getting started feedback
I second this. In general I find the getting started guide very helpful. It explains a lot of key concepts step by step. I'd just like to mention a few things to be considered for future improvements: 1. it's nice to have the default menus in the sample to do project but it looks like a little magic to me when I read the guide. If would be great to explain a little bit how the menu works and what are the options if you don't want the menu there, or ways to customize an application in the context of how Lift works. This is usually not a problem for page central frameworks such as Stripes, or page/component central frameworks such as Wicket. 2. it'd be also very helpful to maybe briefly describe recommended ways to do lift development with tools such as sbt, JRebel and eclipse, or other IDEs. The tools and setups could be rather dynamic. I think the web page is a better place for these things than the book. If not in the getting started guide, a separate FAQ or a link to a separate page from the getting started guide would also do.

Re: [Lift] An experience report using Scala & Lift
I'm new to maven so I just followed the Lift Getting Started guide, which uses "mvn jetty:run" to start jetty and ctrl-c to stop it. I used sbt before for another project that uses a different framework and like it that it auto-compiles the changed files and restarts jetty (as far as I remember - it's been a while.) So far I haven't tried JRebel yet so I'm not sure if it offers more than what sbt does but I'm interested in finding out. When doing that project, I pretty much used a simple text editor to write scala code and I missed the features provided by eclipse or netbeans. So I'm hoping that there is a way to use sbt and eclipse or netbeans (I think the netbeans scala plug-in works better than the eclipse's plugin but I'm OK with usine eclipse since that's my default Java environment), and maybe add JRebel to the picture if it does something that sbt doesn't offer. I understand that the dev environment is a personal choice but I think it would be nice to have a recommended set up that makes use of neat tools like sbt and the free JRebel library. It would be helpful for people who are new to Lift or Scala in general. On Mon, Jan 18, 2010 at 10:58 PM, Naftoli Gugenheim wrote: > How do you launch jetty?

Re: [Lift] An experience report using Scala & Lift
Thanks. "The Eclipse incremental compiler, Jetty & the JRebel plugin makes for fairly rapid turnaround times." This is interesting. I wonder if there are instructions somewhere online about how to use Eclipse + sbt + JRebel for Lift development. The Lift Get Started Guide mentions a lot of start and stop Jetty. The impression I got from reading it is that's how Lift development is done. I'm sure there is a better way :-) On Mon, Jan 18, 2010 at 12:44 PM, Jeppe Nejsum Madsen wrote: > Hi, > > A while ago, I started writing an experience report on using Scala & > Lift.

[Lift] Re: How can i store GBK charactor into the DB ?
I've had problems with system/JVM default locale before. When no encoding/charset is specified in new String(bytes[] data) or String getBytes(), it uses the default locale. When the default locale is not UTF-8, there will be a problem. I'm not sure where the problem is, though. You can capture the HTTP traffic and see what encoding it uses to determine in what link in the request-response-storage chain the encoding got wrong. BTW, Just saw David's reply. Looks like he's found the problem.

[Lift] Re: How can i store GBK charactor into the DB ?
I'm not familiar with how Lift handles strings but if the encoding conversion is what's missing, check out the Java String class, look for work encoding or charset in java doc. Basically you can create a String with a specified encoding and use getBytes() to convert it to a different encoding. You can also try setting charset in your page to UTF-8. Maybe this is the default in Lift.

It's often hard to describe some (I'd say most) of the Scala syntax if you want to search for an answer online. It would be great if the eclipse plugin can tell you what the code is trying to do and what kind of syntax is that, for example, linking an operator back to a method name.

What you said about the problems with dynamically typed
scripting language is very true. Python is so powerful but the
code is so fragile. You need to write a lot of tests. This is
exactly why I'm trying to learn Scala.
Thanks for your explanation about operators.

I find the following three lines of code do the same thing.
Thanks for your explanation again. I now understand
why the first and second line are equivalent. (But why
does Scala allow {} here? Isn't () good enough?)
I'm not sure what the {} does in the third line, though.
args.foreach{ arg => greeting += (arg + " ") }
args.foreach( arg => greeting += (arg + " ") )
args.foreach( arg => { greeting += (arg + " ") } )

[Lift] Re: A Critique On Lift
Hi David,
Appreciate your reply. It's definitely helpful in clearing some of my thoughts,
as well as in my process of learning Scala down the road. I also think your
book is very well paced and organization of the content is well thought out.
Great job!
I'd like to explain a little bit where my frustration is coming from
(and I don't
want to waste people's time reading further for those who aren't interested.)
I come from Java and Python background. When learning these two languages
I didn't have a problem with the syntax. I think Java's syntax is well defined
although verbose, and Python's is clear and concise. There is a small number
of operators and data types and it's pretty clear which is for what purpose.
"Zen of Python" says it well:
"There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it."
and I think this reflects well in the language design of Python.
It's also generally discouraged to use too much "black magic" when coding
in Python so that the code is easier to understand and maintain, although
Python, being a powerful dynamic language, is very capable of black magics.
These two things helped a lot in my learning of Python. It's a much smaller
set of syntax to learn and it can be learned in a very short time, maybe through
one or two online tutorials. The rest of it is just libraries, which
are very rich
in functionality, but the source code is easy to understand, because of the
small set of clearly defined elements in the language - syntax and
data types, etc..
However, I don't feel the same about Scala. In Scala, I often see multiple ways
of doing the same thing, or very similar things, and this is confusing.
For example, there are multiple ways of running a program. You can have a
script, or an application. To run an application, you can write an "object" and
implement the main method, or you can extend Application class and write
the code right in the body of the class. It took me a while to figure out how
it works. What's wrong with having only one of them? Python only start as a
script and Java only need a main method but either way works.
Another example is that in some scenarios ( ) and { } are
interchangable in Scala
code, although I haven't figured out in what occasions they are, and
in what occasions
they are not. This puzzles me more because ( ) and { } are the basic elements
in a language and the language allows such flexible usage of them. Although I
think there should be a good reason for this but it still struck me as odd.
In contrast to Python's short list of operators, because operators are
actually functions
in Scala, it's easy for Scala to have a new operator, or have
functions that works
like operators. This is a powerful feature and it is good news for
people who want to
create DSLs. However I think a plethora of operators make code much harder to
read before people can make it a habit to convert operators as
functions in their mind.
To summarize, the more I learn Scala the more I realize how powerful
it is. Meanwhile,
I think Scala imposes this mind tweaking that people have to go
through in learning
this language, the difficulty that I didn't feel when I learned
Python, or Java, C or C++.
I like many of the features provided by Scala but I hope some of the
things can be
simplified/demystified to make it easier to pick up and use.

[Lift] Re: A Critique On Lift
Yes. Typically one will only see a couple of Java-y Scala samples in the tutorials to show that you can write Scala the Java way to encourage Java developers to pick up Scala. However, in any real world applications and libraries you'll only see Scala-y Scala and that's where the disconnect is. I thought I could start reading some Scala code after reading a few tutorials and chapters in a Scala book but that wasn't the case. :-) However, I'm starting to see the power of Scala, while my head hurts trying to fit itself to functional thinking and the rich and confusing syntax (to a beginner at least.)

[Lift] Re: A Critique On Lift
override def validations = validPriority _ :: super.validations This is a more of a comment about Scala than one about Lift - this does look cryptic to me. And this is just one of the simpler syntax that confuses people, who are new to the language. And I'm one of them. I understand that you don't have to learn all the tricks/syntax to start coding in Scala but you do have to understand it when you read source code of libraries written by someone with much more advanced language skills. In David's book he says "After more than two years of coding Scala, ... My brain has finally stopped hurting." This sounds like a very high barrier to entry. I'm just wondering why Scala has to be so complicated. I'm sure a lot of things in Scala have their reasons but at the mean time I also suspect that many of the odd things are there to reduce typing, which is advertised as one of the advantages of this language - conciseness. (I could be very wrong due to my lack of understanding.) If the latter is true, I feel that I'd rather type a little more to make the code easier to read. Just feeling a little frustrated learning Scala. I think it's much easier learning Java. Not much surprise. Not sure if anyone shares my experience (and opinion, if there is one.)

I just tried it on another computer and got exactly the same error when running (below). I think something is broken.

Yes, I have a network connection. Maven downloaded some other components and the end result was BUILD SUCCESSFUL...

[Lift] Question about the Getting Started Guide
Hi, I'm new to Lift. I'm trying to follow the getting started guide to build the first simple demo.helloworld project. At the end of Maven command output I see "BUILD SUCCESSFUL". However, when I run "mvn jetty:run", I get error: The plugin 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-jetty-plugin' does not exist or no valid version could be found I wonder if I need to manually install jetty? If so, is there any configuration instructions? Thanks Jack --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lift" group.
