Rails Cookbook is not an introductory tutorial, but a problem-solving book that provides coding solutions for a wide range of tasks. For every problem addressed in the book, you'll find a worked-out solution or "recipe"-- a short, focused piece of code that you can insert directly into your applications. Topics covered in the book include developing scalable web applications, test-driven development, working with active record, and deploying Rails applications. A discussion on each solution is included, so that you can learn to adapt the problem-solving techniques to similar situations. This ultimate Rails code sourcebook will save you hundreds of hours.
Ruby on Rails is the super-productive new way to develop full-featured web applications. With Ruby on Rails, powerful web applications that once took weeks or months to develop can now be produced in a matter of days. If it sounds too good to be true, it isn't.
Enterprise software development is labor-intensive. And it is made more costly than necessasry by some of the most popular technologies which can be needlessly complex. The combination of Ruby and Ruby on Rails provides a simple, stable platform for cost-effective software development.
The application that the book builds, a user-generated news Website, is added upon chapter by chapter, and concepts such as user authentication, sessions, cookies and basic AJAX usage are gradually introduced.
