Attachinary - a modern attachments solution for Ruby on Rails
When developing a website you are required for a somewhat tedious work of handling dynamically uploaded content. The constantly added content includes images uploaded by your users and content administrator, user documents and other files. As a developer, you'll be responsible for adding integration of attachments to your application's model and taking care of the upload, normalization, storage, transformation and delivery of such assets. Over time, we've run into a lot of attachment management libraries for many of the web development frameworks available.

Ruby on Rails Examples
In this chapter, we will create a simple but operational online library system for holding and managing the books. This application has a basic architecture and will be built using two ActiveRecord models to describe the types of data that is stored − Books, which describes an actual listing.Subject, which is used to group books together. Workflow for Creating Rails Applications A recommended work flow for creating Rails Application is as follows − So, let us start with creating our library application.
6. Flow Control
Ahhhh, flow control. This is where it all comes together. Even though this chapter is shorter and easier than the methods chapter, it will open up a whole world of programming possibilities. After this chapter, we'll be able to write truly interactive programs; in the past we have made programs which different things depending on your keyboard input, but after this chapter they will actually different things, too. But before we can do that, we need to be able to compare the objects in our programs.
Learn Web Development with the Ruby on Rails Tutorial
Michael Hartl Contents Foreword My former company (CD Baby) was one of the first to loudly switch to Ruby on Rails, and then even more loudly switch back to PHP (Google me to read about the drama). This book by Michael Hartl came so highly recommended that I had to try it, and the Ruby on Rails Tutorial is what I used to switch back to Rails again.

The small, medium, and large of Ruby Frameworks
Want to use Ruby on your next web project, but don't know which framework to use? Ben Evans has done all the hard work for you. Ruby is a dynamic interpreted programming language written for simplicity and power, but it's just a language. It is not a dedicated web development technology, and, as such, you need a little help to make websites in Ruby. This is where Ruby web frameworks come in. They come in different sizes and levels of complexity, so it's important to select the right framework for your project.
jQuery and Rails 3: A mini tutorial
jQuery and Rails 3: A mini tutorial As most of Rails developers, recently I’ve been through a process of unlearning all concepts of older versions of Rails and learning again the new ones of 3.
