Here is a Euroko conference talk about how to build your own web framework:
http://www.vimeo.com/12665769 it was okay, but a bit hard to follow.

Here is a video about how to build your own sinatra (simple Ruby web
framework)
http://teachmetocode.com/screencasts/faking-sinatra-with-rack-and-metaprogr=
amming/(I
haven't watched this one yet).

Any app that is rack compliant can be put on any rack compliant host, such
as Heroku (disclaimer: Heroku does support any rack compliant app, but has =
a
lot of railsy expectations that you will have to read docs, and dig through
the Heroku gem source code to understand). Here is a simple example, it
shows you can do something "useful" and throw it on Heroku.
