About the Book

Rails: Novice to Ninja is an easy-to-follow, practical, and fun guide to Ruby on Rails for beginners. It covers all you need to get up and running, from installing Ruby, Rails and SQLite to building and deploying a fully-featured web application. The third edition of this book has been fully updated to cover Rails 5, the latest version of the framework.

Unlike many other Rails titles, this book doesn’t assume that you are an experienced web developer, or that you’ve used Ruby before. An entire chapter is devoted to learning Ruby in a fun way, using the interactive Ruby console, so you can follow along at home. You’ll be an accomplished Ruby programmer in no time!

You’ll need to understand HTML and some CSS to use this book, but no prior Ruby or Rails experience is assumed.
