Book Description
DESCRIPTION
Rails makes getting an application up and running easy, but how can a
developer ensure that it continues to function well? The answer is Testand
Behavior-Driven Development. These Agile approaches,
combined with the advantages of the latest software version, make
Rails 3 a powerful development framework.
Rails 3 in Action covers developing a Rails 3.0 application from the
ground-up using the industry’s best practices in an Agile development
fashion, tackling one feature at a time in order to build a solid,
maintainable and scalable application. A comprehensive and hands-on
guide, the authors show readers how to get the most out of Rails,
including tips on leveraging the treasure-trove of community-provided
code available.
