This book bridges the gap between what you'll learn from a typical beginner
book about Ruby on Rails and what you'll need to know to create a solid, professional,
spectacular, complex web application. Professional Ruby on Rails is a guide
to taking a beginner web site and making it great. The book covers topics of
interest to a web professional who is trying to develop and deploy a complex
application. These topics include:
• Using REST to structure your application cleanly
• How to test and deploy your application for maximum automation with minimal
headache
• Protecting your site and your user's data
• Using Rails to create the kinds of interactions that web users are coming
to expect
The current Rails books are either beginner books, cookbook-style books, or
specifically aimed at Ajax development. This book will fill the void for a book
that discusses in-depth the information that a developer would need in order
to move from a basic site to a fully featured web application.
