Used by sites as varied as Hulu, GitHub, Shopify, and Airbnb, Ruby on
Rails is one of the most popular frameworks for developing web
applications, but it can be challenging to learn and use. Whether you're
new to web development or new only to Rails, Ruby on RailsTM
Tutorial, Seventh Edition, is the solution.
Best-selling author and leading Rails developer Michael Hartl teaches
Rails by guiding you through the development of three example
applications of increasing sophistication. The tutorial's examples focus
on the general principles of web development needed for virtually any
kind of website. The updates to this edition include full compatibility
with Rails 7.
This indispensable guide provides integrated tutorials not only for
Rails, but also for the essential Ruby, HTML, CSS, and SQL skills you
need when developing web applications. Hartl explains how each new
technique solves a real-world problem, and then he demonstrates it with
bite-sized code that's simple enough to understand while still being
useful. Whatever your previous web-development experience, this book
will guide you to true Rails mastery.
