This document discusses the Lift web framework for Scala. It begins by highlighting how Lift offers innovative approaches to web development compared to other frameworks. It then discusses why another web framework was needed and how Lift borrows ideas from other frameworks while also introducing its own novel concepts. Several key features of Lift are then summarized, including templates, sitemaps, Comet, persistence, AJAX support, and user management. Code examples are provided to demonstrate templates, snippets, binding, menus, CRUD functionality, and AJAX calls.
