内容简介: This book was written for experienced enterprise developers who know Java, C#, or C++, but don’t know much Ruby (although you should probably have read Programming Ruby [?]). We assume you are familiar with relational databases and have at least an idea what LDAP is. Maybe you do not know RELAX NG, but you understand the concepts of XML and you know what well-formed, SAX2, and DOM mean. You’ve probably used tools such as object-relational mappers. Maybe you’re familiar with Enterprise Java Beans (EJB), Java Data Objects (JDO) and so on. Maybe you’re fed up with editing configuration files instead of coding. You are looking for better ways to integrate the existing resources in your company and you are looking for better ways to quickly create new and fancy applications based on all the wonderful stuff you already have. Depending on the tools you’ve used to build your architecture, different choices are available for the integration process. If you’re using message queues you have a lot of freedom and flexibility for integrating your services and software with others. The same holds true for all kinds of web service protocols. It’s slightly different with databases, because they usually do not offer interfaces as clean as message based systems do. Sometimes you have to access tables directly, sometimes you have to use a set of stored procedures written in a proprietary database programming language. In this book we do not talk about sophisticated messaging patterns. Instead, we cover the basics. We show you how to use databases, web services, XML files, and all the other legacy stuff you want to combine for building new applications.

书名: Practical Reporting with Ruby and Rails

内容简介: This book is about general and scalable ways to create reports with Ruby. It covers using a huge array of tools—Rails, Gruff, Ghostscript, and many more—but a common thread links them all: they are powerful tools that will serve you even if you have a huge amount of data. Using the reporting tools and techniques described in this book, you will be able to solve almost any reporting problem, from small to very, very large. This book assumes you have some knowledge of Ruby and Rails, as well as access to a machine with Ruby, RubyGems, Rails, and MySQL installed. If you need to learn more about Ruby, I recommend reading Beginning Ruby: From Novice to Professional by Peter Cooper (Apress, 2007).

书名: Practical Ruby Projects Ideas for the Eclectic Programmer

内容简介: This book is titled Practical Ruby Projects. And let me start by saying that the projects are practical. But they might not be quite what you’re used to. Flip through the book. You won’t find any references to enterprise deployment. Not a word about business logic. In fact, hard as it is to believe, there’s no web programming! But if you exclude those things, what’s left? Why, everything else, of course! Each chapter in this book turns Ruby loose on a new interesting problem or project. They range from creative endeavors to investigative simulations to the exploration of computer programming languages themselves. Ruby is a programming language, but it’s also a tool to create, understand, and entertain. This book is all about Ruby.
