You`ve heard about this amazing web framework called Ruby on Rails that`s taken the world by storm, but thought it was way too complex for you? Think again.
Foundation Rails 2 takes you through your first steps in Rails, explaining in plain English how to start building dynamic web applications. And there`s never been a better time to jump in to the Rails world, as the release of Rails 2 was a major evolutionary leap forward from previous versions.
Unlike other Rails books, this book doesn`t throw you into the deep end right away in the hopes that you`ll learn to swim. Instead, we`ll start out with the basics and continually expand your knowledge until, by the end of the book, we`re building a Rails application with dynamic features such as user registration, geocoding, filtering results with AJAX, RSS feeds, and an XML interface. Meanwhile, we`ll talk about the important issues that other books often leave out such as testing your application`s code, securing your application from hackers, optimizing your code for the best performance, and of course, deploying your application.
This book takes a focused approach to guiding you through understanding how the pieces of Rails work individually and how they fit together. Instead of emphasizing boring theoretical discussions, Foundation Rails 2 lets you get your hands dirty with the framework and learn the hows and whys of Rails faster than ever.
We start with a tour of what makes Rails special and why you need to learn it, move into a gentle introduction to the high points of programming in Ruby, and then take a tour of a sample Rails application. Next, we dig deeper into the core components of Rails before building a complete Rails application together. By the end of this book, not only will you know how to build Rails applications but you`ll understand the reasons behind what you do.ISBN - 9788132200307
