PeepCode
Page, Action, and Fragment Caching
Preview
Sometimes your web application can be slow. Or you have a surge of traffic. Or you want to run your site on slow hardware or a shared host. For those times you need caching.
Ruby on Rails comes with page, action, and fragment caching built-in. You can use these techniques on single pages or in combinations across the pages of your application.
This screencast show you how to use all three and points out a few troubleshooting tips along the way.
Now with a convenient chapter menu! This is a free update for anyone who purchased this screencast in the past.
Source code included. Uses the current Rails 1.2.2. Purchase includes access to Quicktime 7 and iPod-ready versions. Subscriptions are also available.
See also Part II where you’ll learn how to benchmark a full Rails stack with httperf (authored together with Zed Shaw).
