How to make Ruby code into website?

ruby-talk
1

Hello, I am new to computer programming for the most part.

I made a small amount of simple code and would like to know how to
publish it into a website.

For example (in psuedo code)

1. Prompt for user's name
2. Output user input backwards

so this website would reverse the person's name. (This is just an
example, not what I am trying to actually publish)

So how would I go about turning this code into a website people would
visit to have their names generated backwards?

I don't even know how to run the code in the "Command Prompt with Ruby"
thing.

For a website running Ruby code you'll probably want Ruby on Rails.

However, if you don't even know the basics of Ruby I'd emphatically
recommend learning Ruby first.
There are plenty of good tutorials out there which are just a quick
Google away from your fingertips.

Before you think about using Ruby for your website does your web host allow Ruby to work on it's servers? Ask them.

To run a Ruby program from the command prompt navigate to where the program is on your computer, for example your desktop.

Open command prompt then write in cd desktop you should then be on your desktop where your program is.

Write in ruby filename.rb and press enter. (filename is of course replaced by the name you gave your file.)

Doesn't prompt for a user, but using Sinatra [1] you can easily do something like this:
---
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# encoding: UTF-8

require 'sinatra'

get '/:name' do
  "Hi #{params[:name].reverse}"
end

If you run this code and browse to localhost:4567/mario you can see the result. However that's just the tip of the iceberg for a full featured application.

I don't even know how to run the code in the "Command Prompt with Ruby"

Fix that first, then you can start writing web-apps. Doesn't work the other way around.
