Release Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the author of the indispensable "Rails Recipes," and with the help of a new
master Rails chef in the kitchen, here are 72 new ways to kick your Ruby on
Rails apps up a notch. "More Rails Recipes" is a collection of practical recipes
for dressing up your web application with little fuss. You'll learn how the pros
have solved the tough problems using the most cutting-edge Rails techniques so
you can deliver your stunning web app quicker and easier. Developers by the
thousands are coming to Rails-the benefits are clear, both to individuals and
their organizations. But how can a developer be expected to write idiomatic,
effective Rails code when the technology is so new? The answer is to work
alongside masters, people who've been there from the start (and who have the
scars to prove it). And, what better way to learn from their experience than to
look at their code and read their explanations of why it's written that way? And
even better imagine if that code can be lifted and placed right into your own
application. This is better than just cut-and-paste: the recipe format means
you'll understand the code, and be able to modify it to suit your needs. And the
list of recipes is so broad that you're bound to find tips and techniques where
you'll say "Oh! That's how they do that," or, "I didn't know you could do that
in Rails." With "More Rails Recipes," a following up to the popular original
"Rails Recipes," you can cook up a storm.
