Book Description

As a Ruby on Rails developer, you care about user experience and performance, but you also want simple and maintainable code. Achieve all that by embracing the full stack of web development, from styling with Bootstrap, building an interactive user interface with AngularJS, to storing data quickly and reliably in PostgreSQL. Take a holistic view of full-stack development to create usable, high-performing applications, and learn to use these technologies effectively in a Ruby on Rails environment.

This book is a fantastic resource for anyone looking to gain a practical understanding of full-stack development using contemporary, ubiquitous technologies. The author was particularly impressed by how well the author was able to cover so many different software components in such a constructive and cohesive manner. As an engineer who spends most of his time at the data layer, the author walked away with a ton of helpful insight into the other layers of the typical application stack.

Rails is a great tool for building web applications, but it’s not the best at everything. Embrace the features built into your database. Learn how to use front-end frameworks. Seize the power of the application stack through AngularJS, Bootstrap, and PostgreSQL. When used together, these powerful and easy-to-use tools will open you to a new world of possibilities. In each chapter of this book, you'll learn how these technologies can work together inside a Rails app to deliver well-performing applications that offer great user experiences.
