Preview
Updated for Rails 2.1
Plugins are the approved way to add custom features to Rails or even modify its built-in behavior.

If you’ve wanted to write an acts_as plugin or if you’ve wondered what alias_method_chain really does, this is the book for you.

What People Are Saying About PeepCode
“PeepCode is awesome!” Tim O'Reilly, O'Reilly Media

“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
