Ruby, Rack, and Sinatra The Wonders of Middleware by Devlin Daley Learn the role of middleware in today's advanced web applications. Use the same tools to rapidly develop stand-alone web services. Devlin's presentation will cover the basics of the HTTP protocol, the design philosophy behind web middleware, an intro to Rack (a simple Ruby API for creating web services), and an intro to Sinatra (another Ruby API that uses Rack to make creating web services really simple).
