Advanced Rails Recipes

A couple weeks ago, I received my copy of Advanced Rails Recipes by Mike Clark (and others), and so far, I've really been enjoying it. The first book by Chad Fowler was easily my favorite Rails book at the time, and the new edition has definitely continued the trend. I've always learned best from examples, and the recipes in the book are all top-notch, real world scenarios that can be quickly and easily applied to your application. Already, I've used many of them while working on my site, and below are a few of my favorites.

• Respond To Custom Formats
• Freshen Up Your Models with Scope
• Handle Multiple Models in One Form
• Upload Images with Thumbnails
• Send E-mail via Gmail
• Preserve Files Between Deployments
• Give Users Their Own Subdomain

I definitely recommend the book to any Rails developer, new or old, because the book truly has something for everyone.
