However, quality training material for new Rails developers has been frustratingly scarce. For thousands of developers, this start-to-finish video tutorial and companion book will be the solution.

Rails expert Michael Hartl walks developers through the development of a complete Rails application. Hartl's LiveLessons videos offer integrated introductions to Rails and the Ruby programming language. Starting with static web pages, he shows how to add users and a full login system, and then add password resets, microblogging, and social features. Next, he demonstrates advanced techniques such as messaging, RSS feeds, search, caching, and performance testing. Hartl even demonstrates powerful techniques for efficiently managing Rails projects, including version control, test-driven development (TDD) and refactoring, and deployment. While Hartl's sample application resembles a familiar microblogging site, his emphasis throughout is on general principles, giving developers a solid foundation no matter what kinds of web applications they intend to build.
