Reader Reviews:
Hardly scratching the surface (3/3 people found this helpful)
Just starting the introduction, the author refers to the major environments used in Web development: CGI and PERL, then ASP, then PHP. Not a single word about java (jsp, websphere, webobjects...), used in the majority of professional servers.
I just looked at the session management, and found that 'storing session information in the data base is more secure'. Whoaww. Never thought about that. But no mention that this was designed for supporting farm of servers.
I do not know if I'll read more, but clearly the author lacks some vision of what the problematics of web servers are and how Rails solves them.
But to give some credits, whatever is explained in the book is pretty well explained, including how to install components, both on Windows and on MacOsX.
