Lightweight Webservices with Sinatra and RestClient
This document summarizes a talk about using Sinatra and RestClient for building lightweight web services and clients. Sinatra provides a simple and lightweight way to build web applications compared to full-featured frameworks like Rails. RestClient provides a simple way to make HTTP requests from client applications, offering more functionality than Net::HTTP but with less complexity than ActiveResource. Examples of Sinatra and RestClient use include a Git wiki application built in 355 lines of Ruby code and a Heroku client library.
