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)
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)
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.

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.

Fragment Caching (revised)
If you need to cache a certain section of a page instead of the entire page, fragment caching is the way to go. Learn how caching is stored, how to create auto expiring caches, and more.
(9 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)
Sortable Lists (revised)
Here I show how to use jQuery UI to make a sortable list and a "sort" action to handle the updating. Top it off with acts_as_list to make it feature complete.
(6 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)
Dynamic Select Menus (revised)
Do you need to dynamically change one select menu based on the value of another? Here I show how to filter states/provinces by a selected country using grouped options and a dab of CoffeeScript.
