[Lift] Re: How much Scala knowledge is needed to start coding a simple blog with Lift?
Ah, like some frameworks like CakePHP have as a basic tutorial? Look on GitHub under examples/hellolift -- it seems to be a blog demo. (In case you're not familiar with the maven layout, the source folder is src/main/scala.) It may be helpful to copy the code from there manually, and try to understand each line one at a time. Although it's not the simplest possible blog; apparently it tries to show off a range of lift's features. - ngocdaothanh wrote: > Can you outline the feature set it should have? And what is your time frame? I study Lift in my free time, so basically there's no strict time frame. For a start, I would like to just study enough Scala to be able to use Lift, and just enough Lift to be able to create a simple blog as an exercise. The blog only has 2 resources: user and article. Because I have Java experience and I am working with Erlang full-time now, I am familiar with most ideas of Scala. I just feel that its syntax is too complicated, so for a start I only want to study enough Scala to be able to use Lift. Lift is my final target, Scala is a by- product :D. Thank you all.

[Lift] Re: How much Scala knowledge is needed to start coding a simple blog with Lift?
Generally for people new to scala but with primary intention to explore lift, I suggest the following Get David Pollak's "Beginning Scala" book, read ch 1-5. (I still think it's a good idea to read ch 6 to know how actors work, but for using lift, you can put it in the back burner.) Then start on lift tutorial. Since you already know java and rails. A bunch of David's comparions to Ruby/Java will feel right at home for you. Also with IntelliJ now have a opensource community edition with scala support. I highly recommend that as a Scala IDE. But for the purpose of learning, The Scala Repl will be enough for exploring. Good luck and have fun.

+1 Although i've also learnt a lot from n8han's dispatch library - that thing is freaking immense.

I started Scala 2 years ago by reading the Lift code. so DPPs basically responsible for my Scala code... ;) On Thu, Oct 15, 2009 at 10:58 AM, opyate wrote: > > Hello, > > I bought the Scala book in PDF format (Odersky/Spoon/Venners) and > pretty much jumped around it (benefit of PDF is the hyperlinks) for > about a week.

Hello, I bought the Scala book in PDF format (Odersky/Spoon/Venners) and pretty much jumped around it (benefit of PDF is the hyperlinks) for about a week. I am probably proficient with everything in chapters 1-18 which is still pretty much beginner/novice level, but I need the web/book before I tackle most other concepts. But I just wanted to get my hands dirty with a couple of apps and dived straight in. You learn by doing. You learn by reading someone else's code, which is what I've been doing a lot with the Lift sources (I have a local Git clone, and set it up in Eclipse). So, in a nutshell: learn the Scala basics, and get your hands dirty. Open a console and faff about, then start writing apps! :-) What I've done so far can be found here: http://github.com/opyate/Ken http://github.com/opyate/yauser Happy coding!

Hi there, Personally, when I came to Lift over 2 years ago I knew no scala what- so-ever. Knowing scala is a real bonus, but everyone has to start somewhere right? I would suggest just wading in, and see how you get on - there will be a learning curve but this is a very friendly group and has some rich archives full of information to help you on your way. Good luck! Cheers, Tim On 15 Oct 2009, at 06:07, ngocdaothanh wrote: > > Hi, > > I have experience with Rails and Java. I'm new to Scala and Lift.
