RJS Templates are one of the most exciting parts of Rails 1.1. You can manipulate pages and use Ajax to its full extent without knowing Javascript!

This 50 minute Quicktime video tutorial shows you how to use the basic RJS methods from scratch. You’ll be adding to your skills and using RJS to make more responsive and interactive applications.

Includes

Source code included, and has been updated for Rails 2.1. The video still references Rails 1.1, but the changes are minor.

A great companion to Cody Fauser’s RJS Templates for Rails book!

(Requires Quicktime 7 → Download. )

Errata

The version of Prototype that currently ships with Rails has some problems in Safari. Use Firefox to run the samples or upgrade to the latest version of Prototype 1.5.

Skills

This screencast assumes that you know what Javascript is and have used the basic features of Prototype.js. You should also be familiar with the basic file layout of a Rails app.
