Build Your Own Ruby On Rails Web Applications

Ruby on Rails has shaken up the web development industry in a huge way—especially when you consider that version 1.0 of Rails was only released in December 2005. The huge waves of enthusiasm for the new framework, originally in weblogs and later in the more traditional media, are probably the reason why this book is in your hands. This book will lead you through the components that make up the Rails framework by building a clone of the popular story sharing web site digg.com. This will give you a chance to get your feet wet building a simple, yet comprehensive
web application using Ruby on Rails. Does this book cover Ajax? Absolutely! Rails has tight integration with the latest web technologies including Ajax, as well as pretty animations, and features such as auto-completion and in-line editing. If that’s all Greek to you, don’t worry. I’ll get you started, and by the time you finish this book, you’ll be able to discuss all things Web 2.0 with your friends and coworkers, and impress your grandparents
with geeky vocabulary.
