| dc.description.abstract | Rails: Novice to Ninja is an easy-to-follow, practical and fun guide to Ruby on Rails for beginners. It covers all you need to get up and running, from installing Ruby, Rails and SQLite to building and deploying a fully-featured web application. The third edition of this book has been fully updated to cover Rails 5, the latest version of the framework. Unlike other Rails books, this book doesnt assume that you are an experienced web developer, or that youve used Ruby before. An entire chapter is devoted to learning Ruby in a fun way, using the interactive Ruby console, so you can follow along at home. Youll be an accomplished Ruby programmer in no time! Youll then start using Rails to build a practical, working project: a Reddit-like social news application. As youll build the app, youll gain valuable experience of using Rails features such as user authentication, session cookies, and automated testing. The book finishes with chapters on debugging, benchmarking and deployment to a live web server. | en_US |
