Delayed Job (revised)
Long requests should be moved into a background process, and Delayed Job is one of the easiest ways to do this because it works with an Active Record database.
(8 minutes)
Advanced Search Form (revised)
It is often best to use a GET request when submitting a search form, however if it is an advanced search form with a lot of fields then this may not be ideal. Here I show how to create a search resource to handle this.
(6 minutes)
Auto-Complete Association (revised)

(9 minutes)
