About this episode

The talk will start with some background on Lift and then dive right into a Comet and AJAX example that shows how simple it is to make dynamic web applications with Lift. Next we'll talk about some of Lift's unique features that simplify development. Finally, we'll go into detail on Lift's templating system and how that lends itself to clean separation of logic and presentation layers.
