The meteoric ascent in popularity of the Rails framework is in large part due to the enormous productivity gains it has to offer. One reason for this productivity is a feature known as plugins, which enable developers to extend the Rails framework in a variety of interesting ways. What's more, these plugins can be shared with other Rails developers, and accordingly a vibrant plugin community has blossomed.

Practical Rails Plugins is the first book to comprehensively discuss Rails plugins, discussing many of the most popular plugins in the context of four real-world projects.
