Beginning Rails 3 is the practical starting point for anyone wanting to
learn how to build dynamic web applications using the latest release of
the Rails framework for Ruby. You'll learn how all of the components of
Rails fit together and how you can leverage them to create sophisticated
web applications with less code and more joy.
This book is particularly well suited to those with little or no
experience with web application development, or who have some experience
but are new to Rails. Beginning Rails 3 assumes basic familiarity with
web terms and technologies, but doesn't require you to be an expert.
Rather than delving into the arcane details of Rails, the focus is on
the aspects of the framework that will become your pick, shovel, and
axe. Part history lesson, part introduction to object-oriented
programming, and part dissertation on open source software, this title
doesn't just explain how to do something in Rails, it explains why.
