Coding with Sinatra
As a SysAdmin I do love my work but sometimes we need to code also!
Some months ago I found this awesome microframework.
Sinatra
“… Sinatra is a DSL for quickly creating web applications in Ruby with minimal effort:…”
Well thats it. I need move some tasks from command line to the web and Sinatra is what I have found to be the most cool.
# sudo gem install sinatra
# vi mywebapp.rb
require 'rubygems'
require 'sinatra'
get '/' do
erb :index
end
__END__

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<%= yield %>

Helloa!
# ruby mywebapp.rb ; lynx http://localhost:4567
Easy right? Next post I will introduce some more stuff about Sinatra and maybe CRUD operations coded from the root.
take care.
PS: I do need to think about this CSS!! It’s a PITA!!
