This is a new edition of an award-winning classic that has been updated for Rails 5.1 and Ruby 2.4, with information on system testing, Webpack, and advanced JavaScript. Authors Sam Ruby and David Bryant Copeland start with a step-by-step walkthrough of building a real application, and in-depth chapters look at the built-in Rails features.

There's also an extended tutorial that takes you through writing a web-based store application. The book has been developed in consultation with the Rails core team, and Rails itself is tested against the code in this book.
