Sinatra has taken the stage

I’ve been using Sinatra now for about six months all in, as I decided to learn more Ruby, and for sites that aren’t big enough for Rails.

Another reason for using Sinatra, was to deploy application on Google App Engine via JRuby and it was during this, that I decided that Sinatra wasn’t just for small applications and I could rewrite my Scottish Football Archive site using it.

I’m hoping using my blog, I can introduce some in depth articles about Sinatra as I explain my conversion from Rails, but Sinatra really is as simple as the following, just to get you up and started:

require 'rubygems'
require 'sinatra'
get '/' do
  "Hello, World!"
end

Here are some links for further information:
