Advanced Rails: Building Industrial-Strength Web Apps in Record Time: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Advanced Rails: Building Industrial-Strength Web Apps in Record Time" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Ready to go to the next level with Rails? From examining the parts of Ruby that make this framework possible to deploying large Rails applications, Advanced Rails offers you an in-depth look at techniques for dealing with databases, security, performance, web services and much more.
Chapters in this book help you understand not only the tricks and techniques used within the Rails framework itself, but also how to make use of ideas borrowed from other programming paradigms. Advanced Rails pays particular attention to building applications that scale -- whether scale means handling more users, or working with a bigger and more complex database. Youll find plenty of examples and code samples that explain:
- Aspects of Ruby that are often confusing or misunderstood
- Metaprogramming
- How to develop Rails plug-ins
- Different database management systems
- Advanced database features, including triggers, rules, and stored procedures
- How to connect to multiple databases
- When to use the Active Support library for generic, reusable functions
- Security principles for web application design, and security issues endemic to the Web
- When and when not to optimize performance
- Why version control and issue tracking systems are essential to any large or long-lived Rails project

When I started working with Ruby and Rails in late 2004, there was almost no documentation on the Rails framework. Since then, there has been a tremendous number of books, blogs, and articles written about creating web applications with Rails. But many of them seemed to follow a common pattern: you could create a blog in 15 minutes; a to-do list application was simple. Many of the books I saw devoted an entire chapter to installing Ruby and Rails. Today, there is no lack of resources for the beginning and intermediate Rails developer.
But Rails is clearly useful for much more than toy blogs and to-do lists. The 37signals applications (Basecamp, Highrise, Backpack, and Campfire) are all built with Rails; many of the Internets high-traffic sites such as Twitter, Penny Arcade, and Yellowpages.com use it. Rails is now used in many high-profile places, yet developers often have to fend for themselves when building such large applications, as the most current and relevant information is often only found spread across various other developers blogs.
Development and deployment of complex web projects is a multidisciplinary task, and it will always remain so. In this book, I seek to weave together several different topics relevant to Rails development, from the most basic foundations of the Ruby programming language to the development of large Rails applications.
As its title suggests, Advanced Rails is not a book for beginners. Readers should have an understanding of the architecture of the Web, a good command of Ruby 1.8, and experience building web applications with Ruby on Rails. We do not cover installation of Rails, the Rails API, or the Ruby language; working-level experience with all of these is assumed.
I would recommend the following books as a prelude to this one:
Programming Ruby , Second Edition, by Dave Thomas (Pragmatic Bookshelf): Known as the Pickaxe, this is an excellent introduction to Ruby for programmers, and a comprehensive reference that will serve you for years. Without a doubt the most essential book for Rails developers, no matter what skill level.
The Ruby Programming Language , by David Flanagan and Yukihiro Matsumoto (OReilly): Scheduled to be released in January 2008, this book is a comprehensive introduction and reference to Ruby 1.8 as well as 1.9. It does an excellent job of covering even the most difficult aspects of Ruby while still being accessible to programmers learning it.
Best of Ruby Quiz by James Edward Gray II (Pragmatic Bookshelf): 25 selected quizzes from the Ruby Quiz (http://www.rubyquiz.com/); includes both the quizzes and a discussion of their solutions. Solving programming puzzles and sharing solutions with others is a great way to hone your Ruby skills.
Agile Web Development with Rails , Second Edition, by Dave Thomas and David Heinemeier Hansson (Pragmatic Bookshelf): The best and most comprehensive book for learning Ruby on Rails. The second edition covers Rails 1.2, but most concepts are applicable to Rails 2.0.
Rails Cookbook , by Rob Orsini (OReilly): This contains cookbook-style solutions to common problems in Rails, each one of which may be worth the price of the book in time saved. Also worth reading are the similar books Rails Recipes by Chad Fowler and Advanced Rails Recipes by Mike Clark and Chad Fowler (Pragmatic Bookshelf).
Many varied subjects are covered in this book; I make an effort to introduce subjects that may be unfamiliar (such as decentralized revision control) and provide references to external resources that may be useful. Each chapter has a Further Reading section with references that clarify or expand on the text.
I take a bottom-up approach to the concepts in this book. The first few chapters cover the mechanics of metaprogramming in Ruby and the internals of Rails. As the book progresses, these concepts assimilate into larger concepts, and the last several chapters cover the big-picture concepts of managing large Rails software development projects and integrating Rails into other systems.
This book is written for Rails 2.0. At the time of this writing, Rails 2.0 has been released as a release candidate, but not in its final form. Details are subject to change, but the concepts and techniques discussed in this book should be valid for Rails 2.0.
