Mack - A Distributed Web Application Framework

Mack is a Ruby web application framework that is being built from the ground up to aid in the development of distributed, portal-like applications that have a need for speed. Mack supports best of breed technologies in a modular way.

Our goal with this site is to make a comprehensive guide to the Mack Framework. With the help of useful examples and tutorials we're trying to make learning the Mack Framework as easy as it is to actually use.

NOTE: This documentation is a work in progress. Please feel free and contribute to it at: http://github.com/markbates/macker-s-guide/tree/master
