  1. Liftweb CSS Selectors and implicits

    When using Ruby, i found myself frequently making things like formatting methods to display a variety of things.

    def formatDouble(dbl)
         "%.2f" % dbl
    end
    

    Often these output formatters are render-specific, so defining them on the model seems kinda unflexible to me. Of course if you only have one Double to format, this is not the best/quickest way to go, but imagine you have a Snippet which has 3-4 BigDecimals to format.

  2. David Pollak's Lift Basics

    Whew, the past few weeks were like a Rollercoaster ride between my personal downs and professional highs. I got even more high on Liftweb when i was voted Liftweb Committer almost two weeks back! So what's coming next?

    Puh, die letzten paar Wochen waren eine reine Achterbahnfahrt zwischen meinen persönlichen Tiefen und meinen professionellen Höhen. Die Höhen wurden noch heftiger, als ich vor knapp zwei Wochen zum Liftweb Committer gewählt wurde. Was kommt als nächstes?

  3. Liftweb Error Reports by Mail

    Having some kind of safety net when something goes wrong is never bad, so today my ass got saved my just a few lines of code (which made this thing much more easier).

  4. A polyglots tail - My Scala LiftOff Talk

    Today i held my talk at the Scala LiftOff 2011 in London. It was a very interesting event and i've met lots of interesting People. Before this event i could hardly imagine myself presenting, but i hope i did my job to everybody's satisfaction.

  5. println - a custom made suit

    Since i published println, i've had a hand full of people asking me, why it is so minimalistic, why i didn't implement more options and so on. Since most of the people were open to my view of things, i wanted to write a bit about it, so people don't get the wrong impression.
