h1. Why you should be interested in ace? In Ace, every page is an instance Typically I want to define methods, like @post.excerpt There are also *generators* available for easier generating items on the fly. Ace has *template inheritance*. I love template inheritance, it's more flexible pattern than layouts. Tasks for deployment included. h1. The boot process # load @boot.rb@ where the # load the rules (controllers / globs mapping) # load & instantiate the items: only the renderables (concrete post) # run the filters, layoutin' ... actually this can be defined in the controller # match the routes, write the files
