PeepCode
REST for Rails 2
Preview
The first REST screencast was the top-selling screencast at PeepCode for over a year. We’ve started from scratch and built this one from the ground up for Rails 2 (a few Rails 2.1 features are used, too!).
RESTful routes have been a big part of Rails since version 1.2, but they are also very confusing! They’re all about building your application to deliver HTML and API-friendly XML from a single piece of data.
This screencast covers the basics of REST and walks through a simple application to show how REST routes work. You’ll learn about the magic that goes on behind the scenes and how you can design a REST application with confidence.
Routes, URLs, forms, testing, and general tips are covered over the course of 57 minutes of the high quality, professional production you’ve come to expect from PeepCode. We touch on ActiveResource briefly. Simple, clear diagrams are featured throughout.
If you are already familiar with how to build a Rails application, this screencast will give you the knowledge you need to convert an existing application to REST or design a new app with the principles of REST.
Features a handy chapter track for jumping to specific topics. Code samples are included as well.
Included with PeepCode Unlimited and also available for only US$9!
Those who purchased this screencast subsequent to December 2007 will receive an automatic upgrade to this new screencast.

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
“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
“All the PeepCode screencasts are nothing short of awesome. Reading is one thing, but learning from [your screencasts] is enabling me to learn new things and advance like never before.” Todd Boteler
“I wanted to catch up with functional programming, watched PeepCode's screencast on Clojure, best one so far (and I have seen them all)” wearecloud
