Quick and Dirty Apps with Sinatra, DataMapper, RestClient & Heroku

on YouTube ↗29m

" summary

Quick demos show actual code and running services: a six-line Sinatra app that redirects to a Gmail path, a Twilio-powered call service using Sunlight API to lookup legislators and connect callers, and a phone-lottery that stores entrants in DataMapper on Heroku and uses RestClient to POST Twilio call requests. DataMapper’s auto-upgrade migrations create tables live, the call app intentionally uses no persistent storage for session state, and each example deploys and works end-to-end.
