Business intelligence and real–time reporting
mechanisms play a major role in any of today’s forward–looking business
plans. With many of these solutions being moved to the Web, the popular
Rails framework and its underlying Ruby language are playing a major
role alongside web services in building the reporting solutions of
tomorrow.

Practical Reporting with Ruby and Rails is the first
book to comprehensively introduce this popular framework, guiding
readers through a wide–ranging array of features. Note this isn’t a
staid guide to generating traditional reports, but rather it shows you
how the Ruby language and Rails framework can create truly compelling
reporting services by plugging into popular third-party applications
and services such as Google AdWords, UPS.com, iTunes, and
SalesForce.com.
