Appendix B. Quick Reference
The whole purpose of this book has been to get you up and running quickly with Ruby on Rails. You’ve learned how the core pieces of Rails work and how to use Rails to build a basic web application. Rails contains more features and capabilities than can be covered in a quick-start book like this. This appendix contains a concise list of the features of Rails with links to more information.
Substantial parts of this quick reference are taken from “What Is Ruby on Rails” by Curt Hibbs,[*] the “InVisible Ruby On Rails Reference 1.1.2” by InVisible GmbHd,[†] and the official Ruby on Rails API documentation (http://api.rubyonrails.com).
