Rails for PHP Developers
Rails-for-PHP
This book is meant for PHP developers who are interested in adding Rails to their toolsets. There are a lot of books on Rails now, but PHP developers have a unique way of thinking about problems that are built around the PHP mind-set. This book aims to guide your learning in Rails based on your existing knowledge of programming in PHP. An understanding of object-oriented programming in PHP will help but is not entirely necessary. This should be something you start to pick up naturally while programming in Ruby.
Through this book, you will likely learn valuable lessons from Rails that will inform future PHP development. Rails assembles a collection of patterns and practices that are not new in themselves. Many of the patterns in Rails can be implemented in other languages and may help inspire some new approaches in your PHP code. However, the greatest feature of Rails by far is Ruby! Throughout the book, we will explore the power and productivity of Rails together. As you read, also be open to Ruby itself, and be sure to absorb how Ruby forms the foundation of Rails.
