I second Sinatra+Datamapper. I'm not much of a web developer, but I really love the simplicity of Sinatra. Using it is like C, in the sense that it provides very little for you (ie. it stays out of your way).
Unlike Rails, there really aren't many conventions to follow, and things don't seem to break between releases as they do with Rails (from its constant and exstensive evolution).
I'll also throw in a recommendation for using HAML if you're building any HTML for the client side.
- architgupta 15y agoThank you both. I was ignorant of Sinatra and Datamapper. (Apparently the 'razor' syntax is inspired from HAML in .net, so I think I get what you are saying)
- minikomi 15y agoPadrino is also at a nice waypoint between rails and Sinatra. I recommend Sinatra for hacking out the basics of an MVC app then switching to Padrino once the generators make sense.
