Ruby on Rails is an open-source web framework that is optimized for programmer happiness and productivity. It allows developers to write code more easily by favoring conventions over rigid configuration. Ruby on Rails uses conventions to make assumptions about how apps should be structured, reducing the amount of configuration code needed.

37. LESS IS MORE

38. JAVA
public static String reverseString(String source) {
int i, len = source.length();
StringBuffer dest = new StringBuffer(len);
}
for (i = (len - 1); i >= 0; i--)
dest.append(source.charAt(i));
return dest.toString();
reverseString("Krawutzikapuzi");
=> "izupakiztuwarK"

39. PHP
strrev("Krawutzikapuzi");
=> "izupakiztuwarK"

40. RUBY
"Krawutzikapuzi".reverse
=> "izupakiztuwarK"

41. RUBY
"Krawutzikapuzi".split(//).inject(""){ |m,c| c + m }
=> "izupakiztuwarK"
Not using the built-in “reverse” method. Still much smaller that Java.

55. REST

56. IN THE BEGINNING

57. http://pluspoker.true-vision.net/content/index.html

58. http://www.merriam-webster.com/cgi-bin/mwwod.pl

59. http://gilesbowkett.blogspot.com/search?updated-

61. REST
(Representational State Transfer)

62. WEB APPLICATION
USUALLY CONSISTS
OF OBJECTS

63. (like, say, blog posts)

64. WHAT IS A BLOG POST?

65. BLOG POST
It’s an entry in a database.
Consists of title, body, date,
and other data.

66. HTML REPRESENTATION
http://0.0.0.0:3000/posts/1

67. XML REPRESENTATION
<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“UTF-8”?>
<post>
<id type=“integer”>1</id>
<title>Another title</title>
<body>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do
eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad
minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex
ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate
velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat
cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id

<updated-at type=“datetime”>2008-04-15T11:30:50+02:00</updated-at>
<version type=“integer”>2</version>
</post>
http://0.0.0.0:3000/posts/1.xml

68. def show
@post =
Post.find(params[:id])respond_to do |
format|
format.html
format.xml { render :xml => @post }
end
end

69. RESTFUL OPERATIONS
• create
• read
• update
• delete

70. HTTP VERBS

71. in HTTP each request is preceeded
by a request type, or “verb”.

72. Normal page loads use the “GET” verb,
while web forms use “POST”.

73. HTTP knows more verbs, most
importantly “PUT” and “DELETE”.

74. REST operation HTTP verb
Create POST
Read GET
Update PUT
Delete DELETE

75. GET http://localhost:3000/posts/1

76. DELETE http://localhost:3000/posts/1

77. GET http://localhost:3000/posts
GET http://localhost:3000/posts/1
POST http://localhost:3000/posts
PUT http://localhost:3000/posts/1
DELETE http://localhost:3000/posts/1

78. The best thing is
that Rails does it all
completely
automatically.

79. ROUTING

80. map.resources :posts

81. map.sign_up 'sign_up/', :controller => 'registrations', :action => 'new'
GET http://localhost:3000/sign_up/

82. map.resources :videos do |videos|
videos.resources :comments
videos.like '/like', :controller => 'favorites', :action => 'create'
end
map.resources :poker_rooms, :member => { :move_up => :get, :move_down => :get }
map.resources :favorites
map.resources :users
map.sign_up 'sign_up/', :controller => 'registrations', :action => 'new'
map.edit_registration 'user/edit', :controller => 'registrations', :action => 'edit'
map.sign_in 'sign_in/', :controller => 'sessions', :action => 'new'
map.sign_out 'sign_out/', :controller => 'sessions', :action => 'destroy'
map.resources :registrations, :only => [ :create, :update, :destroy ]
map.resources :sessions, :only => [ :create, :destroy ]
map.root :controller => 'videos', :action => 'preview'

83. ORM
(OBJECT RELATIONAL MAPPING)

84. Post.find 1

85. Post.find 1
SELECT * FROM posts
WHERE posts.id = 1
LIMIT 1

86. Post.find_all_by_title ‘Hello World’
SELECT * FROM posts
WHERE posts.title = ‘Hello World’

87. class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
end
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :posts
end

88. @user = User.first
SELECT * FROM users LIMIT 1
@user.posts
SELECT * FROM posts WHERE
posts.user_id = 1
