19.8. Conclusion
In this chapter, we’ve looked at low-level CGI details for implementing Web applications. We’ve looked at how server-side tools such as mod_ruby can help ease the writing of such applications. There are many tools not covered in this book, such as ruby-web, Amrita, Tofu, and Cerise. As always, you should do online research before choosing a tool.
We’ve also looked briefly at higher-level libraries and frameworks such as Rails, Nitro, IOWA, and Wee. We’ve examined the small self-contained WEBrick server (and the much faster Mongrel).
Now let’s look at network programming in a new way, a much simpler, more abstracted way. The next chapter deals with distributed Ruby.
