Описание: Looking to take your web applications beyond stodgy, and into the Web 2.0 generation? Head First Rails takes your programming—and productivity—to the max. You'll learn everything from the fundamentals of Rails scaffolding to building customized interactive web apps, all using Rails' rich set of tools and the MVC framework.

By the time you're finished, you'll know more than just another web framework. You'll master database interactions, integration with Ajax and XML, rich content, and even dynamic graphing of your data... all in a fraction of the time it takes to build the same apps with Java, PHP, ASP.NET, or Perl. You'll even get comfortable and familiar with Ruby... but you'll do it in the context of web programming, not another boring version of "Hello, World!"

We think your time is too valuable to waste struggling with new concepts. Using the latest research in cognitive science and learning theory to craft a multi-sensory learning experience, Head First Rails uses a visually rich format designed for the way your brain works, not a text-heavy approach that puts you to sleep.
