QCon London — Lift and David Pallock
March 12th, 2009
I just sat in on a talk by David Pallock on the Lift framework here at QCon London. What struck me most about the talk is how well Scala lends itself to the concept of the real-time Web–a concept that we try hard to evangelize at Kaazing. With Lift, many of the view components are Comet enabled which allows for real-time Web platform. Very cool, I must say. Even cooler, if we can sprinkle a little bit HTML 5 on there. 
Also, David has a very nice, relaxed, conversational style of presenting that is very conducive for questions. Its obvious he is driving for understanding rather than pushing a pre-canned set of ideas, and I think he does a good job of educating rather than marketing. Well done David!
