May DFW2GUG Meeting - Intro to Scala, Part 2 - The Lift Web Framework
Abstract:
In March, we had the opportunity to learn the basics of Scala. This month we will dig deeper into Scala through an introduction to the Lift web framework. Lift is a "View First" web framework, inspired by the Apache Wicket framework. It favors convention over configuration and packages into a war file that can be deployed in your favorite servlet engine.
This presentation will focus on creating a basic Lift site. Attendees will learn to initialize a project, work with the Mapper ORM, create browser views and RESTful services. Finally, we will touch on AJAX and Comet integration.
