I've been going back and forth between learning Sinatra and Node. This may seal the deal in favor of Sinatra...
- rgbrgb 15y agoI'd really like to see a comparison between Node and Sinatra::Synchrony.

- brunoc 15y agoThe beautiful thing about Sinatra is that it is ridiculously easy to pick up and go. With even a small amount of Ruby knowledge you're up and running in no time.
- joshkaufman 15y agoGood to know - I'll be starting from scratch. Any useful Sinatra resources I should use, aside from the canonical Sinatra book?
- cloudwalking 15y agoI like to start with a simple codebase: https://github.com/icco/basic https://github.com/icco/basic
- joshkaufman 15y agoVery helpful - thanks!
- bigbento 15y agoOne of the things I love about Sinatra is that pretty much everything you need to know is in the README. Otherwise, understanding how Rack/your web server/your gems work is useful. From another angle, Paul Dix's Service-Oriented Design with Ruby and Rails has a lot of examples of using Sinatra in a variety of applications.
- joshkaufman 15y agoI'm new to Ruby as well (getting back into programming). I'll definitely pick up Dix's book - thanks for the recommendation!
- swaits 15y ago"learning Sinatra" - not much to it. Dive in!
