'Pro Ruby On Rails: Building Enterprise Solutions' teaches Ruby from an enterprise developer's perspective, diving directly into a concise overview of the installation and configuration process, and language and framework fundamentals. From there, you'll be guided through a carefully chosen set of topics that will accelerate your grasp of Rails-driven application development. You'll learn about testing and documentation, image processing, automating administration, Ajax and Subversion integration, and search engine optimisation. The book concludes with several chapters devoted to real-world projects such as a social photo-sharing application, a threaded forum system, and a shopping cart.
