Page, Action, and Fragment Caching
Preview
Sometimes your web application can be slow. Or you have a surge of traffic. Or you want to run your site on slow hardware or a shared host. For those times you need caching.
Ruby on Rails comes with page, action, and fragment caching built-in. You can use these techniques on single pages or in combinations across the pages of your application.
This screencast show you how to use all three and points out a few troubleshooting tips along the way.
Now with a convenient chapter menu! This is a free update for anyone who purchased this screencast in the past.
Source code included. Uses the current Rails 1.2.2. Purchase includes access to Quicktime 7 and iPod-ready versions. Subscriptions are also available.
See also Part II where you’ll learn how to benchmark a full Rails stack with httperf (authored together with Zed Shaw).

What People Are Saying About PeepCode
“PeepCode is awesome!” Tim O'Reilly, O'Reilly Media
“I suspect there are a lot of smart DF readers out there who know nothing about the Unix-y aspects of Mac OS X, would like to, but never found a good way to get started. This screencast is it.” John Gruber, Daring Fireball
“Mercurial is just what I was looking for. Happy to pay to support people making such high-quality and informative screencasts.” Jason Kottke
“Absolutely fantastic - I haven't seen a PeepCode screencast before and I'm super impressed with the level of graphics/audio...I just finished it and it really is a great intro. Well done.” David Kaneda, author of jQTouch
“These things are fantastic and the price is a steal. I strongly urge you to support this effort and buy the episodes. What a terrific way to learn!” Scott Barron, Rails Core Committer
