To my wife Mary without her never-failing love and support I'd never get anything finished. And to my Dad, who inspired me to write in the first place.
Ruby on Rails was created in 2003 by David Heinemeier Hansson. Since then it has been extended by more than 21,000 contributors.
Rails was always intended to make web development a much slicker process than was previously available with other technologies. It doesn't require thousands of lines of code to get common functionality built into your apps. Rails uses the concept of "convention over configuration", meaning that many of the common tasks we do when developing web applications are covered quickly and easily.
It is true to say that Rails has a steeper learner curve than, say, your average PHP framework. However, the effort to learn it is certainly worth it. I doubt that you will ever fully go back to choosing other technologies over Rails where it makes sense for the app you are building.
The Ruby programming language is a delight to work with, too. It's what Rails is built on, and it offers a powerful set of features for all sorts of programming tasks, not just those for the Web.
This is a short book, designed to give you a "jump start" with Rails. I've based it on my own experiences of building a production Rails app for the first time. Hopefully, like me, you will come to enjoy the slick, efficient web development experience that Rails provides.
Developers seeking a rapid introduction to Rails. You'll need to know HTML and CSS, and experience with other programming languages would be useful.
Youll notice that weve used certain typographic and layout styles throughout this book to signify different types of information. Look out for the following items.
Code in this book will be displayed using a fixed-width font, like so:
It was a lovely day for a walk in the park. The birds were singing and the kids were all back at school.
If the code is to be found in the books code archive, the name of the file will appear at the top of the program listing, like this:
If only part of the file is displayed, this is indicated by the word excerpt :
If additional code is to be inserted into an existing example, the new code will be displayed in bold:
function animate() { new_variable = "Hello"; }Also, where existing code is required for context, rather than repeat all the code, a will be displayed:
function animate() { return new_variable; }Some lines of code are intended to be entered on one line, but weve had to wrap them because of page constraints. A indicates a line break that exists for formatting purposes only, and should be ignored.
URL.open("http://www.sitepoint.com/responsive-web-design-real-user-testing/?responsive1");Tips will give you helpful little pointers.
