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).

No prior knowledge of Ruby is assumed.
