DESCRIPTION
Ruby on Rails is an open source web framework. It's famously simple to build a basic Rails application. Because it handles most of the configuration for you, all you need is a few minutes and a few lines of Ruby. Once you've started down the track, however, you discover that Rails is a powerful, deep, and rich full-stack platform capable of tackling virtually any development challenge.
Rails 4 in Action is a comprehensive introduction to Rails that guides you hands-on through all you'll need to become a competent and confident Rails developer. In it, you'll master Rails 4 by developing a ticket tracking application that includes RESTful routing, authentication and authorization, file uploads, email, and more. You'll also explore powerful features like designing your own APIs and building a Rails engine. And you'll see Test Driven Development and Behavior Driven Development in action throughout the book, just like you would in a top Rails shop.
This fully-revised second edition offers new and improved testing examples using the RSpec and Capybara libraries and presents more options for creating your own APIs. Numerous changes throughout the book make it even easier to read and use.
WHAT'S INSIDE
- Fully updated for Rails 4
- Explore a full Rails application hands-on
- See idiomatic Ruby code in action
- Test-first emphasis from cover to cover
Whether you're just starting or you have a few cycles under your belt, you'll appreciate the book's guru's-eye-view of idiomatic Rails programming. Background in Ruby is helpful but not required.
