Introduction

0:49 with Jay McGavren

Let's practice some basic skills you'll need when creating Sinatra apps.

These practice sessions won't teach you how to use Ruby or Sinatra.

If you're not already familiar with Ruby, you should take the courses in our Learn Ruby track first.

If you know Ruby but not Sinatra, you should take our Building Web Apps with Sinatra course first.
