OReilly Advanced Rails

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. You'll 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 Advanced Rails also gives you a look at REST
for developing web services, ways to incorporate and extend Rails, how
to use internationalization, and many other topics. If you're just
starting out with rails, or merely experimenting with the framework,
this book is not for you. But if you want to improve your skills with
Rails through advanced techniques, this book is essential.
