Part 2 of Polls Tutorial

[Todd O'Bryan]

Part Deux of the Polls Tutorial I'm working on is available at:

https://www.dupontmanual.org/wikis/spectops/PollsTutorialPart2

...in which our intrepid tutorial writer deals with datetime formats,
explains Boxes, and finally manages to CRUDify his basic webapp.

There are a couple of places where I intentionally didn't do things in
the most Lift-like way (for instance, I spelled out a try-catch,
instead of using tryo), but that was just to keep the number of new
concepts at a manageable level.

If someone knowledgeable could look at the code and make sure I didn't
do or say anything really stupid, I'd very much appreciate it.

Looks slick Todd, thanks for writing it.

Have you considered syntax highlighting for the snippets?

Apparently, my version of MoinMoin isn't recent enough to support
Scala highlighting. I must admit, I put off updating it because it's
always a bit of a pain. I'll see what I can do this weekend.

Oh, not a directive, just a suggestion.

Great work.

No, you're right. It would look better with syntax highlighting.

I've previously used Gist's on Github for the syntax highlighting of Scala code and it works great :)

Here's an example: http://lifty.github.com/Lifty-engine/#your_first_processor

When you create a gist you can just embed it using a script tag :) This also means that people can comment on the gist etc.
