Ruby on Rails Book: Advanced Rails Recipes

Author: ceefour | Filed under: Ajax, Books, E-commerce, News, Rails, Reviews, Ruby, Tips, Web 2.0

Apress’ Beginning Ruby on Rails E-Commerce is easily one of the few (or the first?) Rails books who is able to broadly cover most aspects of Rails web development. Christian Hellsten and Jarkko Laine, the authors, will guide you from the point of installing the necessary software (including the Ubuntu Linux operating system), preparing the Scrum development process, to the very end of deployment and performance tuning. I say this book a “full-stack” since there’s not just development in here, but lots of bits about systems administration and project management.
