Ruby on Rails (RoR or Rails) is a Web application framework written in
Ruby, an object-oriented programming language. RoR has grown year over
year in notoriety and popularity among developers because its ease of
use and speed for which a Web developer can build and maintain Web
sites and applications. One of its key principles is using less code
for application development by avoiding redundancy and following Rails
conventions, encouraging increased performance, but with less
development time.
Ruby on Rails Bible
takes all that is key to this framework and programming language and
details it in one concise guide for all user levels. Coverage includes
an introduction and summary of the Ruby programming language, followed
by complete in-depth coverage of the Ruby on Rails framework. In
addition to chapters detailing all of the features of Rails, a separate
section of the book will provide a walkthrough of the development of a
complete Rails web application utilizing much of what is taught earlier
in the book. Current hot development trends including Agile
development, Web Services, Web 2.0, and Ajax will be covered from the Rails perspective too.
