The Rails 4 Way (3rd Edition) (Addison-Wesley Professional Ruby Series)
Praise forThe Rails Way "For intermediates and above, I strongly recommend adding this title to your technical bookshelf. There is simply no other Rails title on the market at this time that offers the technical depth of the framework thanThe Rails™ 3 Way."—Mike Riley,Dr. Dobb’s Journal "I highly suggest you get this book. Software moves fast, especially the Rails API, but I feel this book has many core API and development concepts that will be useful for a while to come."—Matt Polito, software engineer and member of Chicago Ruby User Group "This book should live on your desktop if you’re a Rails developer. It’s nearly perfect in my opinion."—Luca Pette, developer "The Rails™ 3 Wayis likely to take you from being a haphazard poke-a-stick-at-it programmer to a deliberate, skillful, productive, and confident RoR developer."—Katrina Owen, JavaRanch "I can positively say that it’s the single best Rails book ever published to date. By a long shot."—Antonio Cangiano, software engineer and technical evangelist at IBM "This book is a great crash course in Ruby on Rails! It doesn’t just document the features of Rails, it filters everything through the lens of an experienced Rails developer—so you come out a pro on the other side."—Dirk Elmendorf, cofounder of Rackspace Inc. and Rails developer "The key toThe Rails Wayis in the title. It literally covers the 'way' to do almost everything with Rails. Writing a truly exhaustive reference to the most popular web application framework used by thousands of developers is no mean feat.

A tour de force!"—Peter Cooper, editor,Ruby Inside: The Ruby Blog "In the past year, dozens of Rails books have been rushed to publication. A handful are good. Most regurgitate rudimentary information easily found on the Web. Only this book provides both the broad and deep technicalities of Rails. Nascent and expert developers, I recommend you followThe Rails Way."—Martin Streicher, chief technology officer, McClatchy Interactive, former editor in chief ofLinux Magazine "Hal Fulton’sThe Ruby Wayhas always been by my side as a reference while programming Ruby. Many times I had wished there was a book that had the same depth and attention to detail, only focused on the Rails framework. That book is now here and hasn’t left my desk for the past month."—Nate Klaiber, Ruby programmer "I knew soon after becoming involved with Rails that I had found something great. Now, with Obie’s book, I have been able to step into Ruby on Rails development coming from .NET and be productive right away. The applications I have created I believe to be a much better quality due to the techniques I learned using Obie’s knowledge."—Robert Bazinet, InfoQ.com, .NET, and Ruby community editor and founding member of the Hartford Ruby Brigade "Extremely well written; it’s a resource that every Rails programmer should have. Yes, it’s that good."—Reuven Lerner,Linux Journalcolumnist
