Introduction

 

Ruby on Rails continues to build up a tremendous head of steam. Fueled by significant benefits and an impressive portfolio of real-world applications already in production, Rails is destined to continue making significant inroads in coming years.

Each new Rails application showing up on the web adds yet more to the collective wisdom of the Rails development community. YesterdayŐs best practices yield to todayŐs 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, itŐs 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 youŐll use on every Rails project. And by taking the code in these recipes and slipping it into your application youŐll not only deliver your application quicker, youŐll do so with the confidence that itŐs done right.
