Advanced Rails Recipes: Final Recipes
(Sun Mar 02, 2008) [/Books] #
Advanced Rails Recipes is recipe-complete! I snuck four more into the fourth beta revision that was released today, for a final total of 84 recipes. That's a good round number, and this puppy needs to go to print soon, so the kitchen is officially closed. :-)
Here's what's new:
-
Send Lightweight Messages (using Starling)
-
Nest Resources to Scope Access
-
Automate Periodic Tasks
-
Encrypt Sensitive Data
Thanks for submitting errata! We worked the list down for this beta revision, and added a few new things here and there to the existing recipes based on your input. For example, we expanded the Solr recipe to include more information on the solr-ruby library. We also addressed a few corner cases in the multi-model form recipe. Finally, we thought nested routes deserved their own recipe. So we expanded nested routes into a new recipe in this revision, and added a :member example to the recipe on adding custom RESTful routes to keep it focused on non-nested routes.
Please keep the errata coming. The book will go into production (copyedit, indexing, layout, etc.) in a week, and I'd really appreciate a good scrub of all the recipes. If you only have time to read through a couple, please go straight for the shiny new ones.
Thanks again for your continued support!
