Learning a new language and a new framework can be daunting. Whatyou need is a guide to help leverage your existing knowledge andskills, and show you just what you need to know to get up and runningwith a new system quickly.
You’re already a .NET developer; we’ll help you get up and runningas a Ruby on Rails developer on any operating system: Windows, Mac, orLinux. We start with a gentle introduction to the object-oriented Rubylanguage with examples and direct comparisons to C#, so you’ll quicklyfeel at home writing Ruby code for the first time.
We then get to the heart of Rails development by showing how totackle everyday tasks in Rails compared with typical ASP.NETimplementations, with a tutorial focus. You’ll build a sample airlinereservation system using Rails, learning essential techniques along theway. You’ll come to learn the joy and power inherent in the “conventionover configuration” philosophy, the natural elegance of the MVCarchitecture, and the essence of REST-based design as you developapplications that accommodate web browsers, handheld devices, and evenXML web service clients with unparalleled ease.
Along the way, you’ll see good agile development practices, exploretest-driven development with Rails. You’ll be prepared for real-worldapplication deployment, and we’ll give you a taste of how Ruby andRails are reshaping the Microsoft application landscape, including alook at IronRuby.
