Flexible Rails
is a unique, application-based guide for using Ruby on Rails and
Adobe Flex to build rich Internet applications (RIAs). It is not an exhaustive
Ruby on Rails or a Flex reference. Instead, it is an extensive tutorial in which the
reader builds multiple iterations of an interesting RIA using Flex and Rails
together.
Author Peter Armstrong walks readers through over a dozen iterations in which
the sample application-pomodo-is variously built, refactored, debugged,
sliced, diced, and otherwise explored from every conceivable angle with respect
to Ruby on Rails and Adobe Flex. The book unfolds both the application and
the Flex-on-Rails approach side-by-side.
