LeanWeb: A ruby (out of rails) web framework for static and dynamic content

Hosted by Felix Freeman.

Summary

LeanWeb is a very lean web framework on top of Rack and Tilt that works for both static and dynamic content alike. The idea is being able to build static websites first, and add dynamism when needed without having to rely on dirty tricks. First, we will explore the basics of LeanWeb. Then we will create our first static website using the tool. Finally, we'll add dynamism without pain nor guilt. For participation some experience with HTML and CSS is recommended. No previous experience with Ruby is required, however, some programming experience is recommended. To make things go smoothly, please install Ruby on your GNU/Linux machine previous to the workshop. Installation with your distribution's package manager is good enough.

This talk was presented at LibrePlanet.

libreplanet.org

LibrePlanet is the Free Software Foundation's annual conference. The FSF campaigns for free/libre software, meaning it respects users' freedom and community. We believe that users are entitled to this; all software should be free.

We do not advocate "open source".

That term was coined to reject our views. It refers to similar practices, but usually presented solely as advantageous, without talking of right and wrong.

gnu.org/not-open-source

Richard Stallman launched the free software movement in 1983 by announcing development of the free operating system, GNU. By 1992, GNU was nearly operational; one major essential component was lacking, the kernel.

gnu.org/gnu-begin

In 1992, Torvalds freed the kernel Linux, which filled the last gap in GNU. Since then, the combined GNU/Linux system has run in millions of computers. Nowadays you can buy a new computer with a totally free GNU/Linux system preinstalled.

gnu.org/gnu-and-linux

The views of the speaker may not represent the Free Software Foundation. The Foundation supports the free software cause and freedom to share, and basic freedoms in the digital domain, but has no position on other political issues.
