From: luke gruber Date: 2012-01-04T10:50:01+09:00 Subject: Re: Create web application using ruby not with frameworks I started writing a little microframework built on top of Sinatra for similar reasons. I got kind of fed up thinking that ruby's harder to get __simple__ database-backed web apps up than something like PHP with mysql. So I basically built on top of ActiveSupport, ActiveModel, Sinatra and DBI. So it really is close to the metal, and much harder to get caught in the sea of abstraction that Rails sometimes presents me with. The code's on Github, and although I haven't added docs yet I plan on doing that this week. If you're curious, there's a simple 'ORM" called LazyRecord that basically does things like #save, #destroy, #update, etc... code is here: https://github.com/luke-gru/studio54 LazyRecord: is in lib/lazy_record.rb LazyController is in lib/lazy_controller.rb main file is 'dance.rb', where routes are mapped, controllers are called and responses are sent. It's called Studio54 because it's like Sinatra meets Rails... oh boy.. -Luke -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
