What you'll learn

As a developer, you're always looking for ways to write faster applications with less code. The Sinatra framework hits a sweet spot for writing small, fast web applications and web services with Ruby. In this course, Dan Benjamin teaches the basics of Sinatra: configuration, handlers, blocks, and templates. You'll master these techniques by writing a simple ad server to manage and deliver images, Javascript, and HTML. You'll enhance the application to track clicks using DataMapper and Sqlite3 to store and manage the data.
