My first Merb site

Just a quick note to my legions of loyal followers (hey, Mum), I've just finished my first website written using the Merb framework.

S'coolhouse Rock and Swing

Development travelled along relatively well. I ran into a few issues early on with dependency hell and some bugs and/or missing functionality in a few gems. I blogged about a few of my hacks.

Here is my (partial) technology stack:

  • ORM: DataMapper
  • Tests: RSpec
  • Views: HAML/SASS (which I won't be using again, even though it's very well written)
  • Hosting: Dreamhost (using Phusion Passenger, which was easy to use with a config.ru file for Rack)

I still haven't worked out how to properly get Capistrano working with the Dreamhost setup, but shit happens...

Auf wiedersehen!
