It's more than likely that you're going to be using different frameworks to get your Ruby application on the web. In this lesson, we are going to talk about a framework called Sinatra. This will be an introduction to the framework with the goal being to give you an idea of what this framework is all about and how you can use it to get your Ruby programs on the web.

In this lesson, we are going to learn how to create a simple Ruby on Rails program. Rails is a popular framework used by many Ruby developers, and I personally have the majority of my Ruby applications built on it. As opposed to the Sinatra, which prides itself on being lightweight, Rails has a large number of conventions that you'll need to learn in order to build full featured applications. In order to learn those conventions and how to build rails apps you can go through the courses: Learn Ruby on Rails from Scratch and Professional Rails Development.
