Achieve awesome user experiences and performance with simple, maintainable code! Embrace the full stack of web development, from styling with Bootstrap, building an interactive user interface with Angular 4, to storing data in PostgreSQL. With this fully revised new edition, take a holistic view of full-stack development to create usable, high-performing applications with Rails 5.1.

Build a login form using Bootstrap’s styles, while ensuring the database table backing it is secure using Postgres’ check constraints. Speed up your back end with an advanced Postgres index for a case-insensitive search—enabling you to create a dynamic user experience using Angular 4. All of this, and much more, within Rails 5.1. This second edition is updated to cover Angular 4, new Postgres 9.6 features, and Webpack.

You’ll gain the confidence to work at every level of the application stack, bringing the right solution to every problem.


“A great choice for any developer who wants to pair Rails knowledge with bleeding-edge tools and progressively ascend to full-stack.”

–Peter Perlepes, Software engineer, Adaplo
