The definitive, Jolt-award winning guide to learning and using Rails is now in its Second Edition.

Rails is a new approach to web-based application development that enables developers to create full-featured, sophisticated web-based applications using less code and less effort.

Now programmers can get the job done right and still leave work on time.

NEW IN THE SECOND EDITION: The book has been updated to take advantage of all the new Rails 1.2 features.

The sample application uses migrations, Ajax, features a REST interface, and illustrates new Rails features.

There are new chapters on migrations, active support, active record, and action controller (including the new resources-based routing).

The Web 2.0 and Deployment chapters have been completely rewritten to reflect the latest thinking.
