Ruby on Rails enables the rapid production of high-quality web applications, allowing developers to focus on application creation while Rails manages the intricacies. This award-winning book has guided tens of thousands of developers, endorsed by the Rails core team. New users will find step-by-step instructions, while experienced developers will access comprehensive insider knowledge. The book has evolved alongside Rails, starting with a walkthrough of building a real application and delving into Rails features. This edition offers enhanced information on the Ruby language and elaborates on key concepts. It keeps pace with changing best practices, featuring examples of cookie-backed sessions, HTTP authentication, and Active Record-based forms, emphasizing the correct application of Rails. It also reflects the substantial functional and performance improvements of Ruby 1.9. Sam Ruby, a notable software developer and co-chair of the W3C HTML Working Group, brings his expertise, along with Dave Thomas, an author of the Agile Manifesto and "Programming Ruby," who understands both agility and Ruby. David Heinemeier Hansson, the creator of the Rails framework, also contributes to this essential resource for developers.
