[Lift] Re: Lift or Scala first?
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.

[Lift] Re: Lift or Scala first?
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...

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. ;-) On Fri, Mar 5, 2010 at 2:42 PM, Peter Robinett pe...@bubblefoundry.comwrote: Yes, yes, yes!
