The Rails View--New from Pragmatic Bookshelf
Create a Beautiful and Maintainable User Experience

Sebastopol, CA--Modern web development involves a lot of moving parts and a lot of different
technologies, and it can be hard to get them all just right. In the heat of development, it's
particularly easy to neglect the presentation layer until it grows to become an unmanageable mess.

Now you can break free from tangles of logic and markup in your Rails views and implement your user
interface cleanly and maintainably, with "The Rails View: Create a Beautiful and Maintainable User
Experience" (Pragmatic Bookshelf, $35.00).

In this book you'll learn how to build up solid, sustainable layouts and popular interface elements
with semantic HTML5 and CSS3. You'll explore ways to make working with forms more manageable, and
you'll discover when you can responsibly generate markup and use advanced presenters--all without
leaving the designers on your team out in the cold. You'll even learn how to tame HTML emails so
you can ensure your message reaches its intended audience.

Master the asset pipeline introduced in Rails 3.1 as you use Sass and Coffeescript to make your
interface more enjoyable and your code shorter, and explore ways to present your application to
that ever-growing mobile audience. You'll see how to ensure that your interface stays snappy by
evaluating its performance.

This book gives you comprehensive, objective guidance in a realm full of subjective opinions. Use
it, and you'll create elegant, well-structured views that are a joy to build upon.

Available for e-readers in epub, mobi, and PDF formats direct from the publisher and in paperback
from fine bookstores worldwide.

to get things done the right way."
