  6. JEKYLL

  7. GRAPE

  8. CUBA

  9. CAMPING

  10. WHAT, NO FRAMEWORKS?

  11. WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THAT... You don't have to

    use a fecking framework!

  12. WHAT I USE RUBY FOR CSV Parser Task management Static

    Generator ActiveRecord Building libs for a legacy system

  13. I ALSO USE RUBY FOR... Prototyping (jekyll) API Creation (grape)

    Sys Admin scripts

  14. I ONLY USE RAILS When I have a clear defention

    of success My other team members are happy with the choice Convention over configuration makes sense New code base

  15. IS THERE MUCH SENSE IN NOT USING RAILS? No (simples)
