DESCRIPTION

Ruby on Rails is an open source web framework. It's famously simple to build a basic Rails application. Once you've started down the track, however, you discover that Rails is a powerful, deep, and rich full-stack platform capable of tackling virtually any development challenge.

The book also provides Test Driven Development and Behavior Driven Development in action throughout the book--just like in a top Rails shop.
