The Galen framework allows testing page layouts using Selenium and by verifying elements' positions relative to each other. It uses .gspec files to describe layouts with objects, groups, sections and tags. Verifications include checking widths, heights, alignments, text values, and relative positions using keywords like "near", "inside" and ranges. Results can be saved to HTML reports.

Ruby on Rails is a web application framework that follows the model-view-controller (MVC) pattern. It uses RESTful routing and conventions to map HTTP verbs like GET and POST to controller actions. Models define the data and behavior of an application, controllers handle and respond to user input, and views display the UI for users. Rails emphasizes conventions over configuration for productivity and includes features like caching, asset pipelining, and internationalization.

This document summarizes steps for creating a shopping cart in a Rails application. It covers generating a Cart model and LineItem model with relationships, using Rails sessions to associate the cart with each user, adding public and private methods, callbacks and validations, adding a button to add items to the cart, and modifying views and controllers. Testing is done to ensure functionality. Homework includes enhancing the functionality by adding a click handler, session counter, and conditional display.

Ruby on Rails is a web application framework that follows the model-view-controller (MVC) pattern and includes everything needed to build database-backed web applications using the Ruby programming language. It aims to make web development more productive by utilizing conventions that reduce the need for configuration and promote reuse of common tasks like connecting to databases. The framework provides models for interacting with the database, views for displaying the user interface, and controllers that handle and respond to user input by manipulating models and rendering views.

Ruby on Rails, often simply referred to as Rails, is an open-source web application framework written in Ruby. It follows the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern, which separates an application into three interconnected components to promote code Ruby Rails Web Development organization and maintainability. Ruby on Rails has gained popularity for its focus on developer productivity and its convention-over-configuration philosophy, which significantly reduces the need for boilerplate code and configuration.

As a software consultant, I get to see a lot of interesting code. In this particular instance a client was in the process of transforming their web application to a rich, interactive interface with the help of another company. The project kicked off using Backbone and things were great. Until they were not great. Pages starting getting more and more involved and blame started being thrown at the technology choice. A move to Ember.js ensued and the app was rewritten. But architecturally bad decisions don't hide long, and soon the rewrite was preforming even worse. That's when I stepped in, with the help of another consultant, to solve the performance issues once and for all. Our solution used Backbone.js and it was fast. This is that journey.

Examines the MVC design pattern and how Rails adheres to this powerful design pattern. Good introduction to Ruby on Rails framework.
