In this book you'll learn:

How to develop web applications quickly and easily with the Ruby on Rails framework
The basics of programming principles and Ruby syntax, so you can begin to understand what’s going on under the hood
How to implement must-have web application features, such as user accounts, data validation, sending e-mail, image uploading, and more
How to use Ajax techniques with Rails and when not to use them
How to implement other Web 2.0 features in Rails, such as tag clouds and microformats

If you're a web designer or developer who thinks that the coding involved in developing dynamic web applications is too difficult, think again. This book, and the framework it covers, is the perfect solution to your needs. Ruby on Rails provides an easy-to-use method for quickly developing web applications, simplifying potentially complicated subjects such as web architecture, JavaScript, and SQL/database creation. The simplicity of Rails belies its power, though—this technology is used by major companies such as 37Signals and Google.

The book provides an introduction to Ruby on Rails with the web designer in mind. Instead of focusing on the intricate syntax of each method, the book focuses on the tasks you’ll want to perform on your website and then walks you through how to implement that functionality with Rails. Design and usability are kept in mind throughout, ensuring that your site both looks and works great.

The book begins by covering how to set up your computer as a Rails development environment (including the MySQL database) and then follows with an introduction to Ruby and the basics of the Rails framework. Next, you are taken through several practical examples that work together to build up a complete modern web application, covering essential and useful website features such as user login, adding and editing data, data validation, image uploading, and much more. The book even covers more-advanced Rails topics such as the Rails test suite, plug-ins and components, debugging techniques, and deploying your web applications using Capistrano.

Summary of Contents:

Chapter 1: Introduction to Ruby on Rails
Chapter 2: Installing Rails
Chapter 3: Ruby for Rails Developers
Chapter 4: Getting Started with Rails
Chapter 5: More Advanced Rails
Chapter 6: Formatting Data
Chapter 7: Introduction to Ajax
Chapter 8: Bringing Forms to Life with Ajax
Chapter 9: Uploading Files and Sending Attachments

Want to Learn Rails?

This past weekend I finally started building my first Rails application. I’m pretty impressed with the framework. I will admit that Rails is very hyped. Some say that it is over-hyped. I really can’t agree there. You really have to build an application to understand the cleverness that is Rails. I do believe the folks who have been building web apps for quiet some time will get the most out of Rails. While it’s not necessary, it is very helpful to be familiar with OOP. With that being said, here are my suggestions.

Buy the following books:

Agile Web Development with Rails

Ruby for Rails

Rails Recipes

Build the example “Depot Application” in Agile Web Development with Rails. Then read Ruby for Rails to really get up to speed on the Ruby language. Build the “Depot Application” again. This time, feel free to make changes based on previously gained knowledge. Practice is good. Then read the chapters on Active Record, Action Controller, and Action View. Now that you have a decent foundation in Rails, start building your app. The other chapters can wait until you’re ready to read them.

As you find time, thumb through Rails Recipes. Aside from the fact that you can use about a dozen of these recipes in your first app, it’s packed with great examples of real world code. Most recipes only take about 5 minutes to read through.

Use the following documentation religiously:

Rails Framework Documentation

Ruby Core Libraries

Subscribe to the following blogs:

Err The Blog

Jamis Buck

The Rails Way

These blogs are all great because they all offer advice based on cold, hard, real world scenarios working with Ruby on Rails.

Notes by savedglory: A Ruby on Rails blogging contest.

Thanks to Rails, Ruby is finally coming into its own as an awesome language. In recognition of this, Apress and its imprint, friends of ED, will be publishing a minimum of 10 Ruby and Ruby on Rails books throughout 2006 and 2007. From entry level books, such as Beginning Ruby: From Novice to Professional and Beginning Ruby on Rails: From Novice to Professional, to more specific titles like Practical Ruby for System Administration and Pro Ruby on Rails: Building Enterprise Solutions, the Apress team is ensuring that programmers will learn both the basic and advanced skills to run a clean Ruby shop.

We've seen the excitement level for Ruby/Ruby on Rails grow exponentially in the past few years, and we are extremely excited that we'll know be able to help grow the community and audience. In partnership with prolific blogger Pat Eyler, we'll be running contests for the first six months of 2007, in order to increase the knowledge base for programmers curious to know more about the Ruby/Ruby on Rails phenomenon. There are still a lot of questions out there about why and when Ruby/Ruby on Rails should be used, and our hope is that a proliferation of postings will both lessen the confusion and encourage programmers to try Ruby/Ruby on Rails out.

Sometime in the first week of the month, Pat will post, on behalf of an Apress author, a blogging challenge relating to a specific topic on Ruby/Ruby on Rails, and all programmers will be encouraged to post a thoughtful response on either his/her personal blog or on a public website. In order to be eligible, these must go up within 3 weeks of the original post, and the links must be posted as comments to Pat’s original post. The postings will be judged by a 3 person panel, which includes Pat Eyler, Apress Editor Keir Thomas, and a rotating guest judge. Within one week of the closing date, the judges will announce their decision, and the winner will receive his/her choice of 3 Apress and friends of ED titles.

The first contest will begin January 2007. The guest judge for January will be Apress author Jarkko Laine.

Blogging on LunarPages: Episode I

13 12 2006

So just now I got a Basic Plan account at LunarPages. My site that’s hosted by LunarPages is LunaRails.com. It’s time to do something with it…

First impressions: Everything is smooth, running well, professional, quick, easy. My account got set up in just several hours. Newly-created subdomain works immediately, very nice. (I created blog.lunarails.com just to try WordPress.)

My first steps were creating a WordPress blog at blog.lunarails.com. I used cPanel to create a subdomain, which immediately works. And then used Fantastico to create the WordPress. Very simple and easy. Done under 5 minutes. Although upon first test, I noticed something “weird,” it’s the blog subtitle originally shown: “Not just Lunartics… It\”. The actual intended blog subtitle was “Not just Lunartics… It’s Lunarrific!”

Now, coming from the PHP world, I know exactly why this problem arises, that dreaded magic_quotes_gpc issue and stuff, that makes PHP programmers’ life very difficult. I think this maybe the problem of Fantastico. Note that this issue may be able to cause security problems. Anyways, fixing this in WordPress admin was easy & quick. So it’s not a big deal, I guess.

My next plan is to play around with secure site capabilities as I got a dedicated IP in my LunarPages account. I’ve requested an SSL certificate from StartCom and still awaiting their approval. I’m not sure what I’ll make of it but I’ll just do whatever comes to mind.

Some admin-page screenshots:

So far so good. Got 35 GB of space, 800 GB of bandwidth. Many things, like databases, subdomains, etc. are virtually unlimited. Very good value.

UPDATE: Although it doesn’t provide shell access & Subversion, here’s some general technical specs:

Operating system Linux

Service Status Click to View

Kernel version 2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp

Machine Type i686

Path to sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail
