Talk: Ruby off Rails

Developer at 84codes

Ruby off Rails

In the Ruby landscape, Rails has become the primary approach for web development and you get a lot of configuration and features for free when using Rails. In this talk, we’ll delve into the world of Rails, have a quick look at Hanami and then discuss how we navigate the challenges of building web apps with Sinatra at 84codes. We’ll also share what we learned from Rails and Hanami and how we tried to get the best out of all worlds by implementing some of those learnings in our own web apps.
