If you're looking to get into Lift Development, three of us (Derek, Marius and I) are writing a book.<p>You can grab the source here:

Congrats, David and the rest of the team!<p>I have been aware of the existence of Lift for a while now - but I have never been able to understand the purpose of the "Lift Demo". When you open the demo, the menus on the left seems to be a list of features. But clicking on those links do not lead to pages where you can see how those features can be implemented in Lift. Overall, you get thrown into this app with little guidance on what is happening.<p>DHH's video, IMO, did a great job of introducing Rails to developers. Is there a similar video demonstrating the basic functionality of Lift? I think this was mentioned in Scala Liftoff meetup, but was one such video done?
