Here at mb, our language of choice for most projects is Ruby. Personally, I love the Ruby language. I find that the language works exactly how I think. But that's another post for another day. All that aside, we primarily use the Rails framework, but recently another one that has caught my eye: Camping.

Camping is a lightweight MVC framework for Ruby that uses ActiveRecord for the models. I'm all about keeping things simple and this may help. Don't get me wrong, I love Rails. It's just that sometimes I don't want all that Rails has to offer. Camping looks like a good place to start if you're looking for the basics.
