More than ever, it helps you focus on what matters most: delivering business value via clean and maintainable code. The Rails™ 4 Way is the only comprehensive, authoritative guide to delivering production-quality code with Rails 4.

There is simply no other Rails title on the market at this time that offers the technical depth of the framework than The Rails™ 3 Way." —Mike Riley, Dr. Dobb’s Journal "I highly suggest you get this book. Software moves fast, especially the Rails API, but I feel this book has many core API and development concepts that will be useful for a while to come." —Matt Polito, software engineer and member of Chicago Ruby User Group "This book should live on your desktop if you’re a Rails developer. It’s nearly perfect in my opinion." —Luca Pette, developer "The Rails™ 3 Way is likely to take you from being a haphazard poke-a-stick-at-it programmer to a deliberate, skillful, productive, and confident RoR developer." —Katrina Owen, JavaRanch "I can positively say that it’s the single best Rails book ever published to date. By a long shot." —Antonio Cangiano, software engineer and technical evangelist at IBM "This book is a great crash course in Ruby on Rails! It doesn’t just document the features of Rails, it filters everything through the lens of an experienced Rails developer—so you come out a pro on the other side." —Dirk Elmendorf, cofounder of Rackspace Inc. and Rails developer "The key to The Rails Way is in the title. It literally covers the 'way' to do almost everything with Rails. Writing a truly exhaustive reference to the most popular web application framework used by thousands of developers is no mean feat.
