About the Book
Rails is a full-stack, open source web framework powered by Ruby. Now in
version 4, Rails is mature and powerful, and to use it effectively you
need more than a few Google searches. You'll find no substitute for the
guru's-eye-view of design, testing, deployment, and other real-world
concerns that this book provides.
Rails 4 in Action is a hands-on guide to the subject. In this fully
revised new edition, you'll master Rails 4 by developing a
ticket-tracking application that includes RESTful routing,
authentication and authorization, file uploads, email, and more. Learn
to design your own APIs and successfully deploy a production-quality
application. You'll see test-driven development and behavior-driven
development in action throughout the book, just like in a top Rails
shop.
