Id also recommend searching through the mailing list archive - the
vast majority of questions we see here have been asked in the past and
there are some great answers that were never distilled from the ML to
the wiki.
Cheers, Tim

sites folder. Just get lift from github.

My path to learning was threefold:
1. Do the 'ToDo' app tutorial, while studying the 'PocketChange' app
from the book at the same time.
2. Read the Lift book.
3. Read David's and the 'Staircase' Scala books.
I agree that, compared to the wealth of information, books, tutorials,
videos, etc to be found on Rails, GAE-Django, and web2py, there is far
less for Lift and Scala, but this is a young (and, in my opinion, much
more advanced) framework, so it will take time.
Tell us what you have learned, as I am doing on the group!

Today is my very first day that I planned to take a serious look at Lift.
I've coded webapps in many different frameworks and plan to do a simple
Employee app and add my 'how to' to the site I host
herehttp://www.learntechnology.net/content/main.jsp(whichmanyof the
examples
there show the same application being built with different frameworks.)
Some users like myself might want to start by looking at an existing
examples before going through the exact step by step as described in the
user manual (which has a broken link to the wiki by the way -yes, I
submitted a bug report.)
If I want to take that route there should be a quick way to find example
projects with the source code. Finding these example was extremely
tedious
At some point a new user might go the wiki. ..
you get to the wiki page looking for examples..
you look at the content menu..
you might try the 'cheat sheet getting started link'...
cheat by examples has a link 'lift by examples', but that doesn't seem to
really show example apps?
BY CHANCE, I happened to see in a How To - how to run examples (which at
first i thought why would I click this when I haven't even seen any
examples?), but I clicked it anyway..
Then on the how to run examples' link I was excited to see a list of some
examples (buried way to deep for a new user to find imo.)
Yet only the war links work? None of the project links are active?
Finding example apps to study and learn by is seemingly very difficult to
do. Are there any out there? If so where?
For new user, learning by examples is extremely important. I think a lot
of
new users will be turned off if it's difficult to find some example
applications to study to learn from.
I understand all of this is open source and I plan to write a tutorial
once
I learn it, but it would be nice to find some existing apps to start with.
thanks for all the work done so far.
