As a PHP developer, you have some great tools for developing web
applications. Ruby on Rails is another key tool to add to your web
development toolbox. Rails is a high-level web development framework
that emphasizes high productivity and clean code. However, the Ruby
language and Rails framework take a different approach from the way many
PHP developers write applications. Ruby lies at the foundation of Rails,
and we'll teach you the Ruby language from the beginning by building on
your existing foundation of PHP. We'll explore Ruby through parallel
code examples that illustrate the differences between the languages, and
help you understand the Ruby idioms and how they differ from popular PHP
code and style. You'll then learn the Rails framework by iteratively
building a complete application, starting from the home page through to
a finished product. Along the way, you'll build your skills as a Rails
developer by learning the Rails fundamentals such as MVC structure,
domain modeling, and testing. In addition to serving as a guide to
learning both Ruby and Rails from a PHP developer's perspective, this
book includes two extensive reference chapters. They map the most common
PHP tasks to their equivalents in the Ruby and Rails world, giving you
at-a-glance information that you'll refer to often.
