If you’re a Ruby on Rails developer, you really should have this book on your shelf. Advanced Rails Recipes is full of real-world code snippets and priceless tips.

It covers search, database, design and integration topics such as: Finding stuff with Ferret or Sphinx, creating restful routes and keeping your forms dry and flexible.

This book gives you a better insight on using RoR than you will usually find on forums or walkthroughs.
