Advanced Rails Recipes: 84 New Ways to Build Stunning Rails Apps: 72 New Ways to Build Stunning Rails Apps (Pragmatic Programmers) (Paperback)

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 current beta 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
Developers by the thousands are coming to Rails-the benefits
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.
