Summary

With this book, you'll learn how to use ActiveRecord to connect business objects and database tables. You'll learn how to use the Action Pack framework to route incoming requests and render pages using easy-to-write templates and components. See how to exploit the Rails service frameworks to send emails, implement web services, and create dynamic, user-centric web-pages using built-in Javascript and Ajax support. There are extensive chapters on testing, deployment, and scaling. As with the previous editions of the book, we start with an extended tutorial that builds parts of an online store. And the application has been rewritten to show the best of Rails 2. --from publisher description.
