Crafting Rails 4 Applications, 2nd Edition

How to Read This Book

We’ll build a project from scratch in each chapter. Although these projects do not depend on each other, most of the discussions in each chapter depend on what you learned previously. For example, in Chapter 1, ​Creating Our Own Renderer​, we discuss Rails’s rendering stack, and then we take this discussion further in Chapter 3, ​Retrieving View Templates from Custom Stores​, and finish it in Chapter 4, ​Sending Multipart Emails Using Template Handlers​. In other words, you can skip around, but to get the big picture, you should read the chapters in the order they are presented.
