Important Notices for Newcomers
We are currently in the process of setting up this first-class pool of information about the Lift Web Framework.
You can contribute too after becoming a “Watcher” by clicking the “Watch this space” link (top-right), after creating a free account with assembla.
Please take a look at our old Wiki if you cannot find what you are looking for.
Note: Please use the LiftWeb Google Group to ask questions, report issues and bugs, or suggest improvements. Please read the sticky discussions there before posting. Despite a great desire to be warm and welcoming the core Lift team is somewhat overloaded and needs your help to keep things under control by complying with some expectations.
Welcome to the Lift Wiki
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 (see View First)
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!
