Your Electronic Books

However, because they are addressing a larger scope, all of the existing books also fall short in
exposing the hidden features and benefits of using the Active Record library, and almost none
even mention the fact that you can get many of the same advantages in your Ruby programs
outside of the Rails framework.
If all we were going to do was get you enough knowledge to use the basics of Active Record as
you build new Ruby on Rails projects, then no, there would not be enough to fill an entire book.
Within this book however, we go much deeper into the library than any other source has to date.
We explore the raw source code for the Active Record library. We help to explain the concepts, the
rules, and the goals for the Active Record library??”and we show you how to bend and break the
library as you see fit for your own applications. We do this with lots and lots of examples, so you
can try it all for yourself and learn by doing.
Our motivation for writing this book goes back to our beginnings using the Ruby on Rails
framework.
