Getting Started
It's easy to Get Started with Lift. The Chat app that you build demonstrates a bunch of Lift's advanced features and how easy those features are accessed.
How to Install and Setup
The Lift Cookbook is the most up-to-date resource to learn how to use Lift. First off, you should learn how to Download and Run Lift. Then, if you use an IDE, you can learn how to use them with Lift: you can set up IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse.
From an MVC background
If you're coming from an MVC background (like Rails, Struts, etc.), there's a Chapter for you . The code examples are included and you can run them yourself.
