Chapter 19Finding Your Way Around Rails

Having survived our Depot project, you’re now prepared to dig deeper into Rails. For the rest of the book, we’ll go through Rails topic by topic (which pretty much means module by module). You’ve seen most of these modules in action before. We’ll cover not only what each module does but also how to extend or even replace the module and why you might want to do so.

The chapters in Part III cover all the major subsystems of Rails: Active Record, Active Resource, Action Pack (including both Action Controller and Action View), and Active Support. This is followed by an in-depth look at migrations.
