Lift (web framework)

Lift is a free and open-source web framework that is designed for the Scala programming language. It was originally created by David Pollak who was dissatisfied with certain aspects of the Ruby on Rails framework. Lift was launched as an open source project on February 26, 2007 under the Apache 2.0 license. A commercially popular web platform often cited as being developed using Lift is Foursquare.

Design goals and overview

Lift is an expressive framework for writing web applications. It draws upon concepts from peer frameworks such as Grails, Ruby on Rails, Seaside, Wicket and Django. It favors convention over configuration in the style of Ruby on Rails, although it does not prescribe the model–view–controller (MVC) architectural pattern. Rather, Lift is chiefly modeled upon the so-called "View First" (designer friendly) approach to web page development inspired by the Wicket framework. Lift is also designed to be a high-performance, scalable web framework by leveraging Scala actors to support more concurrent requests than is possible with a thread-per-request server.

Lift (Shannon Noll song)

"Lift" is the second single by Australian singer Shannon Noll from his second album of the same name. The boxing-themed video clip for this song was shot in an unused warehouse in Sydney's Marrickville by Australian director Anthony Rose, who also directed Noll's music videos for "Drive", "What About Me" and "Shine".

It debuted at number thirteen during the Christmas season and in its fourth week on the Australian Singles chart it peaked at number ten. Although the single was Noll's lowest charting at the time of release, sales of the single were very strong. The single became Noll's sixth single to reach Gold or Platinum sales, and also became his longest running Top 100 hit thus far.

The track has been used by various television productions as theme music. South African cricketer AB de Villiers and singer-songwriter Ampie du Preez covered the song on their album Maak Jou Drome Waar.
