It's double the rush if you've spent time doing Rails development- almost like putting on shorts and a t-shirt after a long winter.And this book makes is a quick, painless, and worthwhile journey.It is a fantastic book and you need to get it if you use Ruby for anything, but especially if you use if for Rails. You'll have fun, it'll take less than a day, and you'll be a better Sinatra, Ruby, Rails, or whatever developer.I avoided Sinatra because I had already learned Rails and figured "why bother?". However, in deciding to migrate an old Rails application I decided to look at JSON and the new MVC JavaScript frameworks such as AngularJS. I had read that Sinatra was often used for web services, and decided to quickly throw up an instance and wire up JSON interfaces as I worked my way back from an AngularJS prototype to my old Rails app. That way I could learn and design with freedom while keeping an eye on where I needed to go. Then, based on the prototype results, I'd create a new Rails 4 project and merge the old and new together.Now I'm not sure if I need Rails 4- Sinatra is elegant, beautiful and powerful and this book got me up and running at full productivity in less than a day. I'm rethinking Rails design philosophy in the greater freedom Sinatra offers, which, even if I go back to Rails, will only make me a better Rails developer.This book has no fluff and one one of the things I loved about is that most core concepts are shown via HTTP requests via cURL and the concept of RESTFUL web development is made extremely clear.Better yet, the second half of the book walks the reader through Sinatra internals showing the way using irb (Ruby's interactive shell) and object introspection. What was magic becomes clear, and gives readers the confidence to use Sinatra to it's maximum.A final note on Sintra- Sinatra interacts with the Rails ecosystem via the common ground of Ruby, Ruby Gems and Rack, the web-server middleware used by Rails. You can use ActiveRecord, HAML, SASS, Bundler, and create apps that are very similar to Rails in design. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ useful explanations, concise examples *by S***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 25, 2015* Well paced, useful explanations, concise examples. The content overall gets you if you already know some Ruby, personally I had also read some Rails so I wanted to deep into other Ruby related tools. Worth the price! ### ⭐⭐ I was hoping the later chapters would have a deep dive into tuning and advanced topics but it pretty much just gets you up and r *by B***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 5, 2014* This book is really basic, seriously I could have just used the intro on the sinatra web site and been in the same shape. I was hoping the later chapters would have a deep dive into tuning and advanced topics but it pretty much just gets you up and running. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/8359430-sinatra-up-and-running-ruby-for-the-web-simply](https://www.desertcart.at/products/8359430-sinatra-up-and-running-ruby-for-the-web-simply) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
