Yeah I'm prepared for that. But from my perspective given that 2.8 final is not too far off (relatively speaking of course) and that the differences between 2.7.x and 2.8 have caused a bit of pain for more seasoned users I'm thinking I'd be better off starting with 2.8. > If you are interested in learning more about Lift, I'd strongly recommend > using Lift 2.0-M1 and a Scala 2.7.7 compatible IDE (e.g., NetBeans 6.7). Another of the reasons for me going for 2.8 was for auto-completion which, as I understand it, at least for eclipse, wasn't really available for 2.7.x. Auto-completion is pretty important from a learning perspective, not to mention productivity. > You will have a lot of pain learning Lift against Scala 2.8 until 2.8 is > released. Sure. I can always go back to 2.7.x if problems persist. > On Sat, Jan 30, 2010 at 7:33 PM, Lachlan Deck <lachlan.d...@gmail.com>wrote: > >> Hi Naftoli, >> >> On 31/01/2010, at 1:09 PM, Naftoli Gugenheim wrote: >> >>> What do you mean by #2?
