This book is a tutorial to creating a complete Web 2.0 website with Ruby on Rails. In this book, each chapter adds a new feature to the site, adding new knowledge, skills, and techniques.

Ruby on Rails is an open source web application framework ideally suited to building business applications; accelerating and simplifying the creation of database-driven websites. Often shortened to Rails or RoR, it provides a stack of tools to rapidly build web applications based on the Model-View-Controller design pattern.

This book will show you how to assemble RoR's features and leverage its power to design, develop, and deploy a fully featured website. This book will teach you the following:

• Installing, configuring, and testing both Ruby and RoR
• Setting up the application and database
• Managing users and roles
• Gathering user comments
• Setting up the template and generating migrations for your tables
• Using plug-ins; adding and searching a tag
• Enhancing usability with AJAX
• Developing an administration interface
• Deploying the application

This book is for anyone who has basic concepts of object-oriented programming as well as relational databases and wants to develop online applications using Ruby on Rails. Prior knowledge of Ruby or Rails is not expected.
