Rezensionen

"Erfahrene Nutzer möchten sich nicht durch längliche Einsteigerkapitel oder langweilige Referenzen wühlen. Sie suchen eine schnelle Antwort auf konkrete Fragen, etwa "Wie kann ich mit Rails PDF-Dokumente generieren?" oder wie schütze ich meine Anwendung vor unbefugtem Zugriff?".

Orsini liefert dazu in seinem Rails Cookbook knappe, aber fundierte Antworten aus unterschiedlichen Bereichen. Das Spektrum reicht von ganz trivialen Dingen ("Wie erzeuge ich ein Rails-Projekt?") bis hin zu anspruchsvollen Themen ("Wie schreibe ich ein Rails-Plugin?"). Jede Lösung diskutiert und beschreibt er ausführlich und beantwortet auch Anfängerfragen - aber ein solches Kochbuch kann natürlich keine Einführung ersetzen und sollte darum besser das zweite Rails-Buch im Programmiererhaushalt sein. Dann aber leistet es bei der täglichen Arbeit große Hilfe." -- c't Heft 13/2007, Juni 2007
