Sorry.  Lift requires basic knowledge of Scala as well as some ability to do
stuff at the command line.

Further it's my understanding that the current crop of Scala books
assume you already have a working knowledge of java.

Thinking on it further it seems I need to ask this of the Scala crowd.
My knowledge of programming is antiquated but I do not want to learn
Java just to un-learn parts of it Scala changes.

I'm having a hard time visualizing how a Scala for absolute programming
newbs would look like.

But I'd believe that there could be a market for it.

2009-03-25 Thread Charles F. Munat

Programming in Scala is not for absolute-never-programmed-before 
beginners, but you don't need to know any Java to use it. You'll 
probably have to learn a little bit of Java as you go along with Scala 
anyway, but not much in my experience.

You can try Beginning Scala.  I assume some knowledge of an OO language, but
most of the code is Scala from the ground up.
