About this Presentation
You want to build a restful service, but JAX-RS can be complicated, and Java hosting isn't cheap. What other options are there? Let's explore Sinatra, a Ruby web framework that makes RESTful services a breeze to create!
Of course you want to test it as well, we have that covered too, using rspec and Rack::Test. Lastly we'll need somewhere to deploy it, we'll use OpenShift. A RESTful application created, tested and deployed all before you finish your martini!
