Synopsis
This book provides intermediate Rails users with an essential learning aid to take them to higher level, teaching them countless real world techniques via a series of practical project-based chapters. The book's diverse content goes beyond many of its competitors., For Web developers who want to take their Ruby on Rails knowledge further, this work focuses on the creation of a multitude of practical real-world examples, including a blog, a personal organizer, a calendar, a PHP site retrofitted to Rails, and much more., Ruby on Rails is currently a very hot technology, and its popularity is still growing. Practical Ruby on Rails Projects provides intermediate Rails users with an essential learning aid to take them to higher level, teaching them countless real world techniques via a series of practical project-based chapters. Each chapter takes the reader through the complete process of building up a full-functional Rails web application., P ractical Rails Projects is for developers who have already read a beginning Rails book (or worked though a series of introductory tutorials online) and are now looking to expand that knowledge by gaining practical experience developing a variety of web applications in Rails. It's for developers who want to gain hands-on experience of building Rails applications that do interesting things such as caching, RESTful routing, using Active Resource and RJS, and c- necting Rails to legacy databases. While I do make the assumption that readers have read some previous Rails material, I believe that I've also provided enough review information that a highly motivated reader with previous experience in a model-view-controller framework and familiarity with another object-oriented language should be able to work through the material. The Problem with Most Training Books and Courses Over the course of my career, I've had to sit through an inordinate amount of technical training sessions, and I would estimate that 98 percent of them all suffered from the same major flaw-- they didn't actually teach anything. I sat in a classroom for a week and proved that I could f- low step-by-step directions. Heck, for the majority of them, I could even daydream about other things all day and still pass the course., If you are a web developer who has already realized the power of Ruby on Rails but wants to take your Rails knowledge further, this book will be invaluable to you. "Practical Rails Projects" assumes you know the basics of using the framework, concentrating instead on taking you through the creation of a multitude of practical real-world examples, including a blog, a personal organizer, a calendar, a PHP site retrofitted to Rails, and much more. Each example application follows best practices, gives a nod to style as well as functionality, and takes advantage of many Rails plug-ins, Rails engines, and Ruby Gems. There is also discussion of cutting-edge Rails functionality, such as the new REST implementation and Active Resource. The book starts off by taking you through setup of an ideal development environment as a helpful recap, before diving into the projects straight afterwards. Takes you through the creation of several real-world Rails web applications. Provides a guide to setting up a perfect development environment with Rails and SQLite or MySQL, supporting Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux operating systems. Doesn't waste time on the basics--assumes you know the fundamentals of Ruby and Rails already. Covers the newest Rails functionality, such as new plug-ins and engines, as well as the Rails REST implementation and Active Resource. What you'll learn How to set up Rails for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux How to use Rails with both MySQL and SQLite databases How to incorporate the latest plug-ins, engines, and Ruby Gems into your applications, saving you hours of development time How to make consistent styling of your applications a walk in the park using the Yahoo YUI How toretrofit a PHP site to Rails How to add sparkle to your applications using Ajax techniques How to use cutting-edge Rails functionality such as REST and Active Resource Who is this book for? This book is for anyone who has gone beyond the basics of Rails and wants to learn higher-level Rails techniques. It is also useful for those experienced in other disciplines (such as Java and PHP) who want to learn Rails.

Related Titles from Apress Beginning Ruby on Rails: From Novice to Professional Practical Ruby on Rails Social Networking Sites Beginning Ruby on Rails E-Commerce: From Novice to Professional, The best way to learn Rails is by creating a variety of applications with it. You already know the basics of Rails, and you're familiar with the exciting features and benefits associated with using this Ruby-based framework. You're now at the point where you need to gain firsthand experience with Rails by thoroughly exploring the features and building several different types of web applications. Eldon Alameda takes a focused approach to guiding you through the creation of multiple real-world examples that are designed to get your hands dirty with the core features of Rails, while providing you with the valuable experience of creating real Rails applications. Projects you'll work on include creating a simple blog with an external API, constructing a workout tracker with a RESTful interface and graphs, and converting an existing PHP site to Rails while adding an advanced JavaScript interface. As an added bonus, the final project makes use of the edge version of Rails as you build an application that utilizes Active Resource, which provides an opportunity to explore the various changes and features that will be included with Rails 2.0. Each project is designed to provide you with the necessary information and tools to give you a running start at solving that problem yourself, and each project includes a number of additional ideas and exercises for ways that you can extend each application to fit your own needs.
