Since its initial release in 2004, Ruby on Rails has surged in popularity among cutting-edge web developers. And our original Rails screencast has been a best-seller for three years, establishing PeepCode as the authority on video training for Ruby developers.
Today, Rails developers are in high demand and Rails is widely available on hosting services across the Internet.
This 75 minute screencast introduces Rails 3, the result of two years of low-level improvements, API refinements, and performance optimizations. If you are just learning Rails or if you have limited knowledge and want to learn more, this is the video for you!
Part I started the foundation. Now it's time to complete your knowledge of the fundamentals of Ruby on Rails 3.
In 90 action-packed minutes, you'll learn to use Rails' packaging and code generation tools, work with stylesheets and JavaScript files, link data models together, and build powerful controllers in only a few lines. You'll learn to build forms and organize view templates for easy reuse and maintenance.
This screencast is part of a new series at PeepCode where we sit down with expert programmers and watch them work. You won't learn a specific topic or build a deployable project, but you'll pick up workflow tips and editor hacks that usually require years of experience to figure out.
Two years in the making, it's the PeepCode screencast on jQuery, the popular Javascript framework for developing web applications.
jQuery stormed out of the gate and quickly won the hearts of developers. Its design and implementation make it easy for you to accomplish basic tasks. Extendability is built in with its plugin architecture (you'll write one in this screencast). You can organize code around native Javascript objects (you'll do that, too!).
The Web has seen at least four major advancements in browser technology, about once every five years. Ajax has been around for five years, and we're at the next jump: persistent connections between server and client.
Node.js makes it easy to write asynchronous, event-driven applications that serve static, dynamic, and persistent data to clients while using a minimum amount of RAM and CPU time. While other programming environments can accomplish similar things, Node has been built from the ground up to make this kind of programming painless.
PeepCode Meet jQuery quickly became our fastest-selling title of all time. In this screencast, we explore the Ajax features of the popular jQuery JavaScript framework.
We start simply with the transfer of HTML fragments in only one line of code. You'll learn about the convenience methods in jQuery and then dive down into the details of the low-level Ajax method.
