Advanced Rails Recipes

From the author of the indispensable Rails Recipes, and with the help of a new master Rails chef in the kitchen, here are 72 new ways to kick your Ruby on Rails apps up a notch. More Rails Recipes is a collection of practical recipes for dressing up your web application with little fuss. You'll learn how the pros have solved the tough problems using the most cutting-edge Rails techniques so you can deliver your stunning web app quicker and easier.

Developers by the thousands are coming to Rails-the benefits are clear, both to individuals and their organizations.

But how can a developer be expected to write idiomatic, effective Rails code when the technology is so new? The answer is to work alongside masters, people who've been there from the start (and who have the scars to prove it). And, what better way to learn from their experience than to look at their code and read their explanations of why it's written that way? And even better imagine if that code can be lifted and placed right into your own application.

This is better than just cut-and-paste: the recipe format means you'll understand the code, and be able to modify it to suit your needs. And the list of recipes is so broad that you're bound to find tips and techniques where you'll say "Oh! That's how they do that," or, "I didn't know you could do that in Rails."

With More Rails Recipes, a following up to the popular original Rails Recipes, you can cook up a storm.
