The Definitive Guide to Lift has been announced - http://www.apress.com/book/view/1430224215
The Definitive Guide to Lift, published by APress, is the professionally edited and formatted version of the open-source Lift Book. This discussion group is dedicated to questions and comments regarding The Lift Book (either version).

The open-source version is written using the LyX document processor. You can find the GitHub repository for the book here: http://github.com/tjweir/liftbook/
Generally you won't need to use LyX since we try to update the master.pdf file whenever we make changes to the text.
If you follow liftbook on Twitter, you'll get notifications of any updates we add.

The book is dedicated to exploring the Lift Framework.

**New members are moderated for their first contribution, so please be patient if you send a message and it doesn't show up right away.
