Way back in 1889 on this day, the first General Conference on Weights and Measures officially defined the length of a meter, using a platinum and iridium bar. Some day soon that metric system thing might actually catch on.

Rails might catch on as well. Lots of folks seem to like it. If you haven't yet ridden the rails, or need the latest scoop on Rails 5, now's the time to catch up with the latest edition of the classic Agile Web Development with Rails 5.

Now in print and shipping from pragprog.com/book/rails5.

Agile Web Development with Rails 5

Ruby on Rails helps you produce high-quality, beautiful-looking web applications quickly. You concentrate on creating the application, and Rails takes care of the details. Learn Rails the way the Rails core team recommends it, along with the tens of thousands of developers who have used this broad, far-reaching tutorial and reference.

We start with a step-by-step walkthrough of building a real application, and in-depth chapters look at the built-in Rails features. Follow along with an extended tutorial as you write a web-based store application. Eliminate tedious configuration and housekeeping; internationalize your applications; incorporate Ajax, REST, web services, and e-mail handling into your applications; test your applications as you write them using the built-in testing frameworks; and deploy your applications easily and securely. New in this edition is coverage of Action Cable, and completely updated code for Rails 5.

Rails 1.0 was released in December 2005, more than 10 years ago. This book was there from the start, and didn’t just evolve alongside Rails, it evolved with Rails. It has been developed in consultation with the Rails core team. In fact, Rails itself is tested against the code in this book.

Now available from pragprog.com/book/rails5.
