If you want to add dynamic functionality to your web sites (such as feedback forms, items for sale, and message posting), but find realms of code intimidating, then Rails is just what you need. Rails burst on the scene in 2004, a framework built on Ruby to allow rapid development of powerful web applications. From humble beginnings, the project has gone on to be adopted by major companies like Google. This book is tailored towards non-programmers -- instead of obsessing over every method and component, we give you just what you need to gain confidence and pick up just what you need to put together powerful dynamic sites quickly and easily.
