Wish list for future episodes!

Hi. Let’s use this post to list our wish list and ideas for future episodes. Below are some of my ideas:

1. To teach good design approaches when developing Sinatra apps. For ex.: when the app has database access we usually instantiate the DB object and then use it in the whole app … it’s a good idea to instantiate it only once … we could use ‘require’ to load it once or ‘configure do’ ... these possibilities lead us to doubts regarding which one is best …

2. Using an ORM component with Sinatra like Sequel, ActiveRecord, etc

3. Haml and Sass

I would also like to see:

• multi-field usage with json, xml & csv – for example using the asides and adding an author
• csv being sent into and out of the rest interface and being read into the REST interface

I look forward to further episodes.
