About the Book
After all the additions we made to The Rails 7 Way, it became clear that the book had turned into a tome. As we still have more things to share, we decided to split the book into three parts.
- The Rails 8 Way — the comprehensive, authoritative reference guide for professionals delivering production-quality code using modern Ruby on Rails
- Rails Way: ActiveRecord Deep Dive — this will go into the advanced topics of Active Record, covering every detail of this important part of Rails.
- Building Progressive Web Apps with Rails — which will answer your question: How do I build a modern web frontend with Rails, entirely without an SPA framework like React, Angular, or Vue.
