Fast becoming the framework of choice for the new generation of Web 2.0 developers, Ruby on Rails enables you to create code-light, full-featured web applications quickly with the Ruby scripting language. This book teaches you the basics of installing and using both Ruby and the Rails framework so you can get up and running right away. </p>

Ruby On Rails: Up and Running covers everything thoroughly, from building a schema and making a simple controller to designing a Rails interface and building a project model -- along with details on how to add a controller and generate scaffolding. The book's more advanced material shows you how to Map data to an imperfect table, traverse complex relationships, and build custom finders. The section on working with Ajax and REST demonstrates how you can 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. You'll also learn the essentials of logging to find performance problems, along with other performance optimizing techniques. Many web developers are a taking a serious look at Rails right now -- this book takes you out for a test drive to show just how fast Ruby on Rails can go.</p>
