How to turn Ruby script into a web app

问题:

I currently have a script that listens for geolocated tweets that include given keywords and then plots them on a Google Fusion Tables map.

I am not quite sure how this transfers to a web app. I would like an interface where users can type some keywords to search and then my app would open up a new instance of the Twitter streaming API listening for those keywords and plotting them on the map in real time.

I am having trouble wrapping my head around is where that background process 'lives'. Any insights would be great.

回答2:

The web application development environment for ruby is Ruby On Rails.
