Agile Web Development with Rails 3rd Edition van Sam Ruby, Dave Thomas, David Heinemeier Hansson

Sam Ruby, Dave Thomas, David Heinemeier Hansson

Ruby on Rails is a full-stack MVC web framework that helps you produce high-quality, beautiful-looking web applications in less time than you'd think possible. You concentrate on the application, and Rails takes care of the details. You can even write JavaScript-enabled applications without writing a line of JavaScript code.

Rail has evolved over the years, and this book has evolved along with it. We still start with a step-by-step walkthrough of building a real application, and we still have in-depth chapters looking at the built-in Rails features. But we also now feature a new emphasis on Rails resources and highlight the best-practices used today's Rails developers.

With this book, you'll:
- Follow along with an extended tutorial as we write a web-based store application;
- Learn how Rails eliminates tedious configuration and housekeeping;
- Find out how to internationalize your applications;
- See how to incorporate Ajax, REST, web services, and e-mail handling into your application;
- Test your applications as you write them using the built-in unit, functional, and integration testing frameworks.
- Deploy your applications, easily and security
