Return of the web.
We spend the past two days making console based Ruby programme, lot’s of fun. Today we learned how to use the micro framework sinatra, it’s used to quickly create web applications in Ruby. Sinatra will take care of routing, so you can have pretty URL on your app. Templating, so you don’t have to include a footer on every page. And probably a lot more that I haven’t yet check out. It’s a lot of new things to learn but my experience writing this blog with Jekyll already taught me most of them, so I had some extra time to work on the evening event.
After class, I went to the second round of the BudgetHack hackathon for the Victorian government. Since the rest of my team didn’t make it, I was on my own to present. Once again I recommend to anyone, even beginner, to join meetups and hackathons. You will meet peoples, learn from them and make connections, plus some 
if you’re lucky.
Every day goals :
Coding, and re-starting sinatra server, again and again. Talking about it, thanks to the human-friendly weather being back on Melbourne, I’m out in the park to Walk and Talk.
TIL :
*Sinatra : **
- *Routing, how to simply specified what code to execute when a certain URL is called.
- Templating, how to insert a block of code to another page, so the HTML gets lighter and easier to maintain.
- Params and form, how to access data in the Url to handle forms by using the params hash.
**Pro tips : **
- If you don’t want to Dl the documentation of every new gems you install, create a .gemrc file in your home folder and add this line : gem: --no-ri --no-rodc.
