Product Description
Product Description
Beginning Ruby on Rails E-Commerce: From Novice to Professional is the first book of its kind to guide you through producing e-commerce applications with Rails, the stacked web framework taking the world by storm. The book dives right into the process of creating a production-level web application using agile methodologies and test-driven development combined with Rails best practices. You’ll take advantage of the latest crop of Rails plug-ins and helpers that will radically improve your programming schedule. You’ll also create a real application step-by-step, plus the book is driven by real-world cases throughout.
You will begin by learning how to install Rails and quickly create a product catalog interfaced with your choice of database technologies. Then you’ll discover how to build modern, Ajax-powered shopping carts and add useful features like customer feedback modules. Next you’ll learn how to integrate your application with open source packages like the Ferret full-text search engine, and how to interface with back-end electronic payment systems. You’ll also learn how to make your application work flawlessly with existing production systems using web services, and then ultimately deploy and tune your application for production use.

The book is really good and very well thought out and professional. However if you are on Ruby 2.2.2 a lot of the code doesn't work and is done the wrong way around which I discovered to my disappointment and had to bail out at chapter three.

If you have played around with Rails, but need a little bit of help with how to improve your applications then this might be the book.
Does not really spend too much time explaining Rails or Ruby so if you are a beginner this may not be for you, but if you are looking for the next step this is a good place to start.
The book tracks the development of an online store and gives a good feel for how you should go about building and testing it.
Again a number of the topics assume that you have some knowledge of the subject mater and complete beginners could get lost quite quickly.
Also there are a small number of bugs in the code examples, but corrections are available from the books website and it does provide you with a few extra non-intentional debugging exorcises to get your teeth into.
Good rails book.

This is a very good book for RoR beginners. If you already know a few things about RoR or are trying to build a real-life ecommerce website then you'll need a more advanced book. But overall a very good starting point.
