Over 11 hours of tutorials on building applications with Ruby on Rails.
Ventura, California (PRWEB) November 13, 2007 -- lynda.com, the leader in self-paced digital media and design training, today introduced Ruby on Rails Beyond the Basics.
In this sequel to the popular Ruby on Rails Essential Training, expert instructor Kevin Skoglund teaches comprehensive techniques for web developers who already feel comfortable with the fundamentals of Ruby and the Rails MVC framework. This training will help developers move toward creating full-featured Ruby on Rails applications. Kevin begins by explaining how to update software and projects to the latest versions. He then demonstrates alternative ways to interact with Ruby and your Rails applications and teaches the intermediate aspects of the Ruby language. Kevin provides step-by-step instructions for creating a custom blog and content management application. He uses this practical example to show how to work with database migrations, how to get more from ActiveRecord and avoid common pitfalls, how to create flexible controllers and views, and how to improve performance, security, and code management. Exercise files accompany the tutorials.
"This is the perfect resource for anyone developing a real website in Ruby on Rails," says Lynda Weinman, CEO of lynda.com. "It covers not only in-depth programming concepts, but also the 'care and feeding' tips you'll need to efficiently maintain your Ruby on Rails development and production environments."
