From the Publisher
Ruby on Rails allows you to develop organized and scaleable
web applications in real time. The Rails framework speeds up the process of
creating database driven web applications and the Rails Cookbook teaches
how to use this framework by example - so you can try out new features, and
use sample code to understand how the language and framework operate--and
how to put them to work for you. This comprehensive collection of problems,
solutions, and practical examples will satisfy Rails developers at all
levels of expertise. Whether you're new to Ruby programming and need
something to bridge the gap between theory-laden reference manuals and
real-world programs or you're an experienced Rails programmer looking for a
new perspective or a different problem-solving context, this book will help
you make the most of your Ruby and Ruby on Rails knowledge.
