Part 1. Getting started

The first two chapters of this book introduce the Lift framework and demonstrate how you can get everything set up and ready for your first development.

Chapter 1 starts by introducing both Scala and Lift concepts, complete with high-level explanations and samples. The aim is to give you grounding in what is a fundamentally different way of thinking. In chapter 2, you’ll be building upon the basis laid down in chapter 1 by constructing your very first Hello World application, which will involve the most basic Lift steps. In these chapters, you’ll see first-hand how Lift leverages a view-first architecture and how easy it is to get up and running with the Lift web framework.
