Hi, I hope this post does not break group rules. If it does, just delete it.

I released my book, which describes how to build a Ruby application with Roda and Sequel.
Almost ten years of working with the Ruby on Rails framework meant that I started looking for an alternative way to build web applications using the Ruby language.
This book shows how to build, document, and test a REST API build with Roda and Sequel.
I invite all fans of the Ruby language. I am curious about your opinion. Each one is welcome, even the negative ones 🙂
I hope this book will make Roda and Sequel more popular and not be overshadowed by Ruby on Rails.

I created a special coupon code for the community that gives a 20% discount:

Thank you for sharing, it's always great to have more resources for people.

I got this and did a speed read through it—lots of excellent material here! I'd structure some aspects differently…in particular I don't like the "service objects" concept and would probably try to find a way to write more traditional-looking controller objects/actions that get called from the routing tree. But that's all minor quibbles. I'd definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about Roda!

Thank you Jared for your opinion. The service approach that I use in the book is great when your create/update logic is more complicated. 
In my other Roda apps, I often create/update multiple objects in one request and that's where it shines.
In the book, service objects are pretty simple and it looks like overkill.
