Which is the best way to learn lift if you have no experience on web programming?

I'm intending to access DB (postgre) from my applications in scala. I was requested to use lift to do so. Since I have neither experience in web-programming nor in dealing with DB it's not a surprise that I've become really confused with the Lift book.

Could anyone suggest to me another way to begin开发者_JAVA百科?

The best way to learn is to build something with it.

If you need an idea for what to build, check out this exercise wherein someone built the same app with 14 different frameworks: I am so starving. The post only mentions Python, but the author has since added Ruby and JavaScript implementations.
