You could use the Merb-core in combination with the passenger mod for Apache. That mod allows you to run rails and merb applications just like php applications. Just upload and go. And indeed you could use Rails, but it's easier to start with a merb application. Example: http://www.modrails.com/documentation/Users%20guide.html#_merb As you can see passenger mod supports multiple simple frameworks. So maybe you could try one of those.

As you've probably guessed by the title, total newbie here. My main interest is developing web stuff, and for that I started learning programming through PHP. However, I discovered Ruby and immediately fell in love with it. I started following Chris Pine's Learn to Program and with the knowledge I got so far, I started building a few very simple programs of my own. The thing is that they're all limited to the Terminal (I have a mac), but what I really want is to use them through a web interface (inputs, forms, submit, etc) so I can also experiment with Javascript/AJAX. However, I have no clue how to do that and can't seem to find information on it anywhere. It seems the only way to access Ruby programs through a webpage is with the aid of frameworks like Rails and Merb, and they seem like too much trouble for what would be a simple one-page app. I guess could use Camping or only the Merb-core, but I would like to understand exactly what I'm doing, and just basically be able do it all by myself. So, what am I missing? What is the link between .rb and .html? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
