To begin, let’s take a moment to answer
“what is Cuba?”
.Cuba is a web application micro-framework written in Ruby byMichel Martens. It rides onRack so we have the benefits of middleware,Rack libraries, and a variety of web servers for free.Cuba is minimalist by design (203 lines of code) which makes itfaster compared to other web frameworks. Also, it doesn’t makeassumptions about the “best” way to do things. That gives us the freedom to choose the proper tools for the job.Since Cuba doesn’t ship with all the tools we need to create our example application, this book willalsointroduce other libraries that sharethe same design philosophy. Together, they make web development simple, understandable and fun.
