内容简介: As a computer book author, I strive not to be full of myself. I have no illusions that you plan on reading this book from cover to cover. I read sections and chapters out of order when I buy a computer book. Why would I expect you to approach my book any differently? And even if I read something in Chapter 2, who sa ys I remember it when I read Chapter 11?

I write each section with these thoughts in mind. In the middle of Chapter 12, I might want you to remember some nugget of knowledge that I introduce in Chapter 4. If I use that nugget over and over again in Chapters 5, 7, 8, and 9, I don’t remind you about it in Chapter 12. But for other nuggets — ones that you don’t read about repeatedly in this book — I provide cross references.

内容简介: Any programmer knows that an API is only half the story, and with Rails this is especially true. Good Rails development, and good web development, is much more about the design choices you make than the framework you have at your disposal. I wrote this book as an attempt to create the resource I wish I had after settling into Rails development — to pick up where the API leaves off and explain how to take good Rails code and turn it into beautiful Rails code: simple, effective, reusable, evolvable code.

This book is meant to take your Rails development to the next level, and in doing so, it cuts across a wide range of topics. Each of these topics is selected to highlight a particular part of the design and development process that can make the difference between just using the Rails framework and achieving a state of flow with the framework. Throughout the book, the focus is on the way you code rather than the mechanics of coding. The book is divided into clusters of chapters that represent the themes listed in the following sections.
