- 15. Action View Browser UI •controllers render views • layouts: yield & content_for • assets and partials • form helpers
- 16. Asset Pipeline What isthe Asset Pipeline? • concatenate JS/CSS • development vs production • organize application assets • package assets with a gem
- 17. Extending Rails RubyGem andBundler • bundler.io • the Gemfile • useful gems
- 18. Deployment Deploying Rails applicationsis easy • automate with capistrano • Heroku • Digital Ocean • Amazon Web Services
- 19. Configuring Rails Adjust applicationbehaviour • Initializer files • ORM configs • Rails environments • Internationalization (I18n)
- 20. Debugging Debugging utilities • pry(binding.pry) • log files • rails-footnotes • debug(params)
- 21. Rails on Rack Railsintegration with Rack • rack.github.io • active admin • resque web interface • comfortable mexican sofa
