Jump Start Sinatra

This short SitePoint book provides readers with a fun and yet practical introduction to Sinatra, a framework that makes web development with Ruby extremely simple. It's not intended to be a completely comprehensive guide to the framework or an in-depth Ruby tutorial, but will quickly get you up to speed with Sinatra and give you the confidence to start experimenting on your own.

The book is built around a real-life example project: a content management system. It's a fun and easily understandable project that is used to demonstrate the concepts outlined in the book in a practical way.

This is a clear, approachable and very easy-to-follow book that will get you to to speed with Sinatra in no time.

Darren started using Sinatra in 2009 after falling in love with the direct simplicity it offers. At the start of 2010 he started the I Did It My Way blog, detailing his quest to master Sinatra, and at the end of that year used Sinatra to build the Cards in the Cloud website. Darren also writes Sinatra tutorials for RubySource.
