Introduction

In the previous chapter, we learned how to create a Lift project using both SBT and Maven. We also learned how to do basic things such as sending e-mails and configuring the SiteMap.

We also created few pages and examples to demonstrate some of the features of this amazing framework called Lift.

As, Lift is a framework used to build websites and applications using Scala, we need to learn how to create pages, how to manipulate HTML to create dynamic pages, how to localize our website, and a lot of other useful things that are necessary while building a website.

Another neat feature that you will see in the following recipes, is that Lift templates are designer friendly. That is because bindings between HTML and Lift snippets are made by adding markups inside the data-lift attribute of HTML tags. Since this is all you need to create the binding, your HTML file will be valid and designers working on the same project won't have a hard time editing them.

These are the topics that we will learn in this chapter.
