Every “recipe” book of necessity is a tactical rather than strategic book, and this is no exception. Maik Schmidt provides a ground level view with competent how-to descriptions of a lot of different techniques.
Its 55 recipes are divided into four categories: Security & E-commerce, Databases & XML, Networking & Messaging, and Integration & Administration. But note that as a “Ruby and Rails” book, some of the Ruby-only techniques might be performed differently from within Rails.
Despite the word “enterprise” in the title, these recipes are readily applicable to many applications, including those where the “data center” consists solely of a single application/database server combination. As such, it might be useful to a wider audience than the “real” enterprise book. It’s by no means a first or even a second Ruby on Rails book, but it’s well worth buying if any of the recipes might fill a need.
