I must be getting old and nostalgic. The past weeks I have been relaunching projects from my past, and GO Magazine is the first one to come online. Truth be told I am quite pleased with it.
First the technical background. This website was created by me and I both wrote articles and programmed the website. Back in 2000 I did this in plain HTML, then jumped on J2EE. Looking back that was a nightmare. When Rails hit the scene in 2005 (I think) I ported everything to Rails and have been using that ever since.

…Sinatra distribution. ERB allows you to embed Ruby statements in an HTML page.
The important things to know about an .erb file is that <%= ruby_code %> evaluates the ruby code and outputs the result, and <% ruby_code %> evaluates the code, but doesn't output anything.
We will use ERB for our app.
Note : If we write: get '/' do erb :index end
This tells Sinatra that when a GET request for ‘/' comes in, that we should use the ERB helper …

…what did I want to do instead? What would make templating, a heavy and complex task, more beautiful. HTML tags I decided. HTML tags for all. data-src, data-val, data-href, data-click, data-class, data-id. Templating to override, append, and generally drive all.
The result, from the view side, was very pleasing to my eye. I am happy with everything about the way I do the templating. What I realized was I was unhappy about things I ignored in the process of designing my templating engine. …
The book is written in Markdown (I hate LaTeX), converted to HTML using Redcarpet , using Albino for syntax-highlighting, and converted to PDF using the awesome Prince XML library, I hope to eventually use DocRaptor to create the final result, as a Prince license is slightly out of budget, but DocRaptor is pretty affordable.
Where can I get updates on progress?
Mostly be following me or the handbook itself on Twitter.
