So I have a sinatra application that displays my database information. It does not take user input and does not POST, it only GET's and displays the info.
Now a friend suggested me to use ActiveRecord, and from what I can tell it is mostly used for developing the database and routes. But since I have that done is there any advantage to using ActiveRecord in my program or I am good without it?

This is more based on personal preferences.
You could read some articles about ActiveRecord vs DataMapper and decide what to use.
For example this one.

I need to use the Steamworks API to pull the live player count of a game server and have it on my web app.
When I go to the Web API section it only gives me a limited number of uses for it, which do not include mine. Do you have any idea how I can do it?
Many thanks.

I'm about to setup a new project in Go. I came across the term vendoring. Is this standard or an obsolete concept. I'm coming from a nodejs world and this feels like copying the nod_modules folder to a separate directory or am I confusing the whole purpose of this?
It's not technically obsolete, but most cases should use go modules instead.

I want to build a website with a chat. The chat should have a calling option,stickers,smiley faces.Which language would you suggest and why?
I`m thinking about ruby on rails or node.js
I am also thinking to find someone who maybe have experience in the
area, but i am not sure what kind of developer would suit me best.
Language choice depends on how many hours you want to spend on development and further support.
Node.js is a simple and fast option if you want to build a working prototype. If you want to build something with a future advance (in order to solve such issues as scalability) and you have more time you can look at Golang and similar languages.

We have an app in Rails 3.2 that we want to upgrade to Rails 4.0. I have read the various guidelines available on the possible issues like here and here.
I would like to know of some not so common/obvious gotchas that we should be aware of when upgrading to 4.0?
Ones that got me:
CanCan not yet playing nicely with StrongParameters: Ended up using this work-around.
Named Scopes require Procs: Well documented, but still got me. See my issue here.
Turbolinks bypasses document.ready: Good overview here.

I would like to know what is the different between CodeIgniter and Zend MVC Framework in regarding to coding style?
e.g. Retrieving/Inserting values in the database etc.
The concept are similar but the coding style is different:
Zend Framework uses both table gateway pattern and row gateway pattern but CodeIgniter only uses the later.
If you are asking about the conventions used in naming variables and methods then Zend is different from CodeIgniter. Therefore the coding style are not the same!
Hope it helps!
