Business intelligence and real-time reporting mechanisms play a major role
in any of today’s forward-looking business plans. With many of these solutions
being moved to the Web, the popular Rails framework and its underlying Ruby
language are playing a major role alongside web services in building the reporting
solutions of tomorrow.
Practical Reporting with Ruby and Rails is the first book to comprehensively
introduce this popular framework, guiding readers through a wide-ranging array
of features. Note this isn’t a staid guide to generating traditional reports,
but rather it shows you how the Ruby language and Rails framework can create
truly compelling reporting services by plugging into popular third-party applications
and services such as Google AdWords, UPS.com, iTunes, and SalesForce.com.
What you’ll learn
• Create reporting solutions for both the Web and the desktop.
• Integrate with powerful third-party retail solutions such as eBay, and Amazon.com
in order to monitor your sales campaigns in real-time.
• Build an invoice reporting system using Rails and PayPal.
• Monitor your sales performance by taking advantage of SugarCRM’s web
service offerings.
Who is this book for?
Ruby and Rails developers seeking to create compelling business intelligence
and reporting solutions using a wide variety of applications and services.
