The definitive, Jolt-award winning guide to learning and using Rails is now in
its Second Edition. Rails is a new approach to web-based application development
that enables developers to create full-featured, sophisticated web-based applications
using less code and less effort. Now programmers can get the job done right and
still leave work on time.
NEW IN THE SECOND EDITION: The book has been updated to take advantage of all
the new Rails 1.2 features. The sample application uses migrations, Ajax, features
a REST interface, and illustrates new Rails features. There are new chapters
on migrations, active support, active record, and action controller (including
the new resources-based routing). The Web 2.0 and Deployment chapters have been
completely rewritten to reflect the latest thinking. Now you can learn which
environments are best for your style application, and see how Capistrano makes
managing your site simple. All the remaining chapters have been extensively
updated. Finally, hundreds of comments from readers of the first edition have
been incorporated, making this book simply the best available.
Rails is a full-stack, open-source web framework that enables you to create
full-featured, sophisticated web-based applications with a twist...you can create
a full Rails application using less code than the setup XML you'd need just
to configure some other frameworks.
With this book, you'll learn how to use Rails Active Record to connect business
objects and database tables. No more painful object-relational mapping. Just
create your business objects and let Rails do the rest. You'll learn how to
use the Action Pack framework to route incoming requests and render pages using
easy-to-write templates and components. See how to exploit the Rails service
frameworks to send emails, talk to web services, and interact dynamically with
Javascript applications running in the browser (the "Ajax" architecture).
You'll see how easy it is to deploy Rails. You'll be writing applications
that work with your favorite database (MySQL, Oracle, Postgres, and more) in
no time at all.
