Description
Merb is the next evolution in Rails-like frameworks, as a micro, ultra lightweight Ruby-based web application development framework, that could give Rails a "run for its money." Merb is gaining popularity as it's easier to learn, and lets you build lighter, faster, better performing Ruby-based Web applications.
Beginning Merb is one of the first books on Merb and the first tutorial on Merb. It covers how to build a Merb-based Web application, from beginning to end.
This book uses a Social Review web application as a case study throughout to show developers how to learn and use Merb.
