Is there a framework or something out there so that I can develop webpages in Ruby the same way I can as PHP. Something like
<html><head></head><body>
<?ruby
puts '<p> Hello there!</p>'
?>
</body></html>
The only thing I’m seeing for using Ruby in webpages is huge complex frameworks that is completely different from how PHP works. I mean, sure that’s all fine and dandy with the 3 tier model and such but when your just wanting a few simple things done(which are trivial in PHP) in a webpage, to setup such a large framework just doesn’t seem right. Especially when you only really want like 1 page made in Ruby and the rest being plain HTML.
Two words: Sinatra and ERB
(For lightweight sites, at least).
Sinatra is a simple HTTP server, ERB is a templating system that acts similar to templating in PHP.
