Language: English Quality: High Has Audio: true Source: confreaks Media: Flash Posted On: 08 Feb 09

Ramaze (http://ramaze.net) is a simple, light and modular open-source web application framework written in Ruby. Even though Ramaze hasn't been in the spotlight as much as Merb and Sinatra, it has a lot to offer:

  • Like Merb, it lets you select from a variety of ORMs and templating engines
  • Ramaze is developed in a BDD fashion with specs written in Bacon.
  • The documentation and examples from the site are very good and the code is easy to dig into.
  • The community is very friendly and helpful

    I will give an introduction to Ramaze and show why you should consider it for your next project.
