Product Description
Product Description
Ruby on Rails continues to build up a tremendous head of steam. Fueled by significant benefits and an impressive portfolio of real-world applications already in production, Rails is destined to continue making significant inroads in coming years.
Each new Rails application showing up on the web adds yet more to the collective wisdom of the Rails development community. Yesterday's best practices yield to today's latest and greatest techniques, as the state of the art is continually refined in kitchens all across the Internet. Indeed, these are times of great progress.
At the same time, it's easy to get left behind in the wake of progress. Advanced Rails Recipes keeps you on the cutting edge of Rails development and, more importantly, continues to turn this fast-paced framework to your advantage.
Advanced Rails Recipes is filled with pragmatic recipes you'll use on every Rails project. And by taking the code in these recipes and slipping it into your application you'll not only deliver your application quicker, you'll do so with the confidence that it's done right.
The book includes contributions from Aaron Batalion, Adam Keys, Adam Wiggins, Andre Lewis, Andrew Kappen, Benjamin Curtis, Ben Smith, Chris Bernard, Chris Haupt, Chris Wanstrath, Cody Fauser, Dan Benjamin, Dan Manges, Daniel Fischer, David Bock, David Chelimsky, David Heinemeier Hansson, Erik Hatcher, Ezra Zygmuntowicz, Geoffrey Grosenbach, Giles Bowkett, Greg Hansen, Gregg Pollack, Hemant Kumar, Hugh Bien, Jamie Orchard-Hays, Jamis Buck, Jared Haworth, Jarkko Laine, Jason LaPier, Jay Fields, John Dewey, Jonathan Dahl, Josep Blanquer, Josh Stephenson, Josh Susser, Kevin Clark, Luke Francl, Mark Bates, Marty Haught, Matthew Bass, Michael Slater, Mike Clark, Mike Hagedorn, Mike Mangino, Mike Naberezny, Mike Subelsky, Nathaniel Talbott, PJ Hyett, Patrick Reagan, Peter Marklund, Pierre-Alexandre Meyer, Rick Olson, Ryan Bates, Scott Barron, Tony Primerano, Val Aleksenko, and Warren Konkel.
From the Publisher
are clear, both to individuals and their organizations.
But how can a developer be expected to write idiomatic, effective Rails
code when the technology is so new? The answer is to work alongside
masters, people who've been there from the start (and who have the scars to
prove it). And, what better way to learn from their experience than to look
at their code and read their explanations of why it's written that way? And
even better imagine if that code can be lifted and placed right into your
own application.
This is better than just cut-and-paste: the recipe format means you'll
understand the code, and be able to modify it to suit your needs. And the
list of recipes is so broad that you're bound to find tips and techniques
where you'll say "Oh! That's how they do that," or, "I didn't know you
could do that in Rails."
With More Rails Recipes, a following up to the popular original Rails
Recipes, you can cook up a storm.

This review is from: Advanced Rails Recipes: 84 New Ways to Build Stunning Rails Apps: 72 New Ways to Build Stunning Rails Apps (Pragmatic Programmers) (Paperback)
As you can imagine It's not an introductory book but nevertheless It's worth Its money because It unveils a lot of good technics/conventions, for REAL problems. If you have already built some Rails App you'll need It to improve yourself and your projects. I give 4 and not 5 stars beacuse It have too few recipes about security/logging/authentication but this isn't a real issue.

Did not meet expectations,
By impitbosshereonlevel2 "impitbosshereonlevel2" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Advanced Rails Recipes: 84 New Ways to Build Stunning Rails Apps: 72 New Ways to Build Stunning Rails Apps (Pragmatic Programmers) (Paperback)
I bought this book hoping to get more insight into Rails modeling; to get an idea how certain less-than-common models would be implemented - things not covered in your average Rails book.This book does not cover that at all - its main goal is discussing various ways to spruce one's application - by using functions that are not commonly seen, or using various third-party technologies with Rails, like obscure full-text searching tools, or Google Maps. I'm all for the former, and the book has some pretty clever ways of doing things you probably never thought it could do. I find things like Google Maps integration less than interesting, however, since I can easily pull that type of information from myriad of the Rails blogs already out there. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:

Get it, it will pay for itself immediately.,

I went through this book cover-to-cover every few pages saying, 'Wow, I could have used/need that now!' If you're a RoR developer, you really should have this book on your shelf. I marked maybe 75% of the recipes as something I could use--worth it's weight in gold!

Another Good One,

This review is from: Advanced Rails Recipes: 84 New Ways to Build Stunning Rails Apps: 72 New Ways to Build Stunning Rails Apps (Pragmatic Programmers) (Paperback)
It's simple, really: If you're programming with Rails you should buy this book. Let's face it, one recipe that shows you how to do something is all that it takes for this book to pay for itself.Some of the recipes are meant to be looked at on an as-needed basis, e.g. searching using Solr, Sphinx, or Ferret, and sending email via Gmail. But most of the book can be simply read as a way to learn more about Rails, e.g. customizing error messages, testing with RSpec and Shoulda, and caching strategies and tools. |
