Silicon Valley Code Camp : Nov 8th and 9th, 2008Session
lift: a simply functional web framework
About This Session
Lift is an expressive and elegant framework for writing web applications. Lift stresses the importance of security, maintainability, scalability and performance, while allowing for high levels of developer productivity.
Lift borrows from the best of existing frameworks, providing
* Seaside's highly granular sessions and security
* Rails fast flash-to-bang
* Django's "more than just CRUD is included"
* Wicket's designer-friendly templating style
And because Lift applications are written in Scala, an elegant new JVM language, you can still use your favorite Java libraries and deploy to your favorite Servlet Container. Use the code you've already written and deploy to the container you've already configured!
This session will introduce lift and Scala and demonstrate how to write a functioning application.
