Tree-Based Navigation (revised)
If your Rails app is content-heavy, consider organizing it in a tree menu structure. Here I show how to add top-level tabs, nested links in a side bar, and breadcrumbs to go up the hierarchy.
(10 minutes)
jQuery & Ajax (revised)
Here I go back to the basics and show how to turn a traditional Rails app into one that interacts through Ajax by adding "remote" options, JavaScript templates and a dabble of jQuery.
(14 minutes)
Charts & Graphs (revised)
If you have a lot of data, consider adding a graph to provide an overview of it. Here I show how to use Morris.js to chart an Order model and visualize trends in the data.
(12 minutes)
Calendars (revised)
Learn how to add a calendar to your Rails app. Whether it be a date picker using jQuery UI or a full page calendar for browsing records, I will show you how to do it in this episode.

Destroy without JavaScript (revised)
A destroy link in Rails does not work without JavaScript. In this episode I show two techniques for gracefully degrading destroy links: button_to and a delete action.
(8 minutes)
Generating RSS Feeds (revised)
If you have a page containing a dynamic list of records, consider providing an RSS or Atom feed for it. It is quite easy to do with XML Builder and the atom_feed helper method as shown in this episode.
(8 minutes)
Syntax Highlighting (revised)
Here I compare several syntax highlighting solutions and show how to use Pygments in a Rails app. I also show how to integrate it with Markdown and add caching.
(8 minutes)
Nested Model Form (revised)
Handling multiple models in a single form is easy with accepts_nested_attributes_for. Here you will also learn how to add and remove nested records through JavaScript.
(11 minutes)
I18n (revised)
Translate a site into other languages through internationalization (I18n). Here I show how to store a locale in the URL and manage translated text through YAML files.
(10 minutes)
SimpleForm (revised)
Easily generate complex forms with SimpleForm. Here I show how to convert bulky markup into a concise list of fields, customize it by passing options, and add error handling.
