ruby

Hello I'm trying to improve my ruby knowledge by reading The Ruby Programming Language book. Reading Coders at work I saw that lot of the interviewees suggest to dive into a project source code

to learn best practices
to be aware of bad habits
and of course to take new inspirations for how to do things.

I decided to pick a project as more self contained as I could find. My choice was Sinatra since It's 1000 LOC.

Is It a good project to learn? Do you suggest another one more simple (i.e. less LOCs)?

I've tried to see rails machinery before but I came out scared from It.
