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.
