Talk

Sinatra and the Tumblr API

The lightweight Ruby web app DSL Sinatra (http://www.sinatrarb.com) and gems for accessing the Tumblr API. Even though Sinatra is an alternative to Rails it’s relevant as an increasing number of Rails developers use it when Rails is too heavy handed — for example Resque’s web front end is powered by Sinatra.

Description

When: Wednesday 30th June @ 6:30pm Where: YouDo, Level 2, 10 Cambridge Terrace StreetView: http://is.gd/2mbwQ Who: Joe Mahoney

He’ll be telling us all about the lightweight ruby web app DSL Sinatra (http://www.sinatrarb.com) and also talk about the gems he’s been using to access the Tumbler API.

Even though Sinatra is an alternative to Rails I think it’s relevant to show at the meeting as an increasing number of Rails developers use it for when Rails is just too heavy handed for some particular situations. A good example being that Resque (demo’d a couple of months ago) has a web front end powered by Sinatra.
