29 Links and Resouces for learning Sinatra

Sinatra is considered a Ruby micro framework and is used for developing web applications on the fly! You can use it to develop small to medium applications or use it along with rails to create powerful web apps.

Sinatra has a great homepage with plenty of examples on how to get started. To install, you can grab the sinatra gem or clone the git repository.

While the examples on the Sinatra site are great for building your first simple application, Ruby Inside has put together a great list of links and resources for people interested in Sinatra.

Rails Envy – Ruby on Rails vs. Django Commercial

This is an oldie, but a goodie. I recently saw this posted on Reddit and thought it was funny enough that I would share it here as well. In 2007 at the Lone Star Ruby Conference, the ever hilarious guys over at Rails Envy premiered a commercial they made imitating the Mac vs. PC commercials from Apple. I would try to give some sort of description of the video, but I think it’s better that you just watch it.

Warning! Mega-Nerd Alert!

Although this video is clearly seeming to make fun of Senor DJ Angoooo, Gregg wanted to point out that he thinks Django is actually a great framework for building web applications.

After taking a good look at Django and weighing all the pros/cons, I didn’t really think we should make fun of it. Django is a great framework for building web applications, one that employs many of the same techniques that Ruby on Rails does. If it wasn’t for Rails I’d probably be programming Django right now. Amongst a sea of mediocre web frameworks it’s definitely close to the top.
