9.7. Summary
Whether you have the luxury of a dedicated Web designer to help you out or you are in charge of both back-end and front-end, having a solid understanding of how the view layer works is fundamental, and this chapter should have helped you to get started.
It also concludes the broad panoramic of the MVC architectural pattern as implemented by Rails. It has been a somewhat lengthy journey, but it was a necessary undertaking to grasp the essential principles behind how the framework functions.
Moving on, the last two chapters in this book will be specialist ones, respectively dedicated to the topic of Web Services and then a whirlwind tour of performance and optimization, security, a few enterprise considerations, as well as deployment.
