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.
