About the Author
Darren Jones has been playing around with programming and building websites for over a
decade. In 2007, he discovered Ruby and Rails; they were both great, but then he found
Sinatra and fell in love with its classy approach to web development. At the start of 2010,
Darren started the “I Did It My Way” blog, detailing his quest to master Sinatra, and at the
end of that year he used Sinatra to build the Cards in the Cloud website.
