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.

Let's practice working with Sinatra to
make sure that everything you've learned
0:04
so far sticks.
0:08
We'll review how to set up
routes to handle requests and
0:09
ERB templates to render a response.
0:12
If you're not familiar with these topics,
0:14
check the teacher's notes attached
to this video for more info.
0:16
We're going to give you
a series of code challenges.
0:20
These challenges may be tougher than
what you see in our main course, and
0:23
the solutions may not be obvious at first.
0:26
They're designed to make your brain work
a bit to remember what you've learned and
0:29
apply it in new ways.
0:32
In the end, all of this will
help solidify your learning and
0:34
make you a better,
more confident programmer.
