[Lift] Re: Lift or Scala first?

2010-03-05 Thread Lukasz Kuczera
As i posted in other thread lift is uber complex until you wrap your
head around it then its stupid simple. Scala is static so there is not
as much magic happening around as in groovy/ruby. But on the other
hand if you have any functional background it might be the good
option.

 Hi guys:
 I have a simple question, it's necessary to learn Scala first? or i
 can go with Lift framework, without learn Scala language?

 Thanks

[Lift] Re: Lift or Scala first?

2010-03-05 Thread Peter Robinett
Yes, yes, yes! David's book was a fantastic guide for me as I learned
Scala and Lift at the same time.

Going back to the original question, I've learned a language and a
framework at the same time twice (Lift and Scala, Pylons and Python)
and I'm torn. On one hand having lots of high quality example code and
defined goals really helped guide my learning but on the other hand
you have that much more to learn at all once. I guess it really
depends on your style of learning.

Just my two cents...

 then you are ready to start working through lift's tutorial, samples, etc.

Try working through:
http://liftweb.net/docs/getting_started/mod_master.html

If you find yourself confused about stuff at the language/syntax level, then
by all means, buy my book. ;-)
