Editorial Review :
Working in the View layer requires a breadth of knowledge and attention to detail unlike anywhere else in Rails. One wrong move can result in brittle, complex views that stop future development in its tracks. This book will help you break free from tangles of logic and markup in your views as you pick up the practical skills you need to implement your user interface cleanly and maintainably.
You'll discover how to build up solid, sustainable layouts and popular interface elements with semantic HTML5 and CSS3, and when you can responsibly generate markup and use advanced presenters... all without leaving the designers on your team out in the cold. Widen your appeal with responsive design, and discover how new progressive enhancement techniques can take you beyond the "weakest link" approach of the past. Master the asset pipeline introduced in Rails 3.1 and use Sass and Coffeescript to make your interface code shorter and more enjoyable.
You'll create elegant, well-structured views that are a joy to build on. You'll appreciate its comprehensive, objective guidance in a realm full of subjective opinions.
What You Need:
All examples in the book assume Rails 3.1 or later and Ruby 1.9.x are installed. Detailed information on how to install these for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux is included in the book. Customer Review :

Questions & Answers
Question : what are the general education credit requirments to get a AAS degree in accounting ? What class ?
i'm thinking of persuing a Degree in accounting, im' 30, haven't taken any college courses so i'm just tring to get idea what I would have to go through. any info on the type of classes i would need for the general credits would be great ? I'm all for getting a education even at my age but am nervous about talking a ton of generals. I found lists of classes for the accounting stuff but nothing on generals that would be needed. Thanks for any information.
Answer:
It may depend somewhat on where you are.I know the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) requires fifteen hours of general education courses for an AAS degree, with three hours in the social sciences, three hours in math/science, and three hours in humanities/fine arts.I would guess that the other regional accrediting agencies would have similar guidelines--and most junior/community/technical colleges are going to interpret those pretty much the same (although they may have slightly different course offerings) within each region.

Question : Are Heald College general education classes transferable to a community college?
I have finished my general education classes at Heald in California and will be graduating from the MIBC program soon with my AAS. Can I use the the general education credits from Heald to go and get my Associates in Early childhood education at the community college where I had started years ago? I had only needed my general ed to graduate. I had all the ECE classes, in excess of 40 units. I would just like to finish what I had started.
Answer:
In order for you to transfer to a 4 year institution - you need to accomplish 2 things. 1) finish up the General Education requirements that make of the AA program (6 months) that meet the requirements to transfer to the CSU system. 2) Or you must take the Heald Catalog to the school you want to attend and an official transcript from Heald and have them evaluate the credits you have taken. It is up to the receiving institution to determine which credits will transfer. Every college is different.

Question : AA vs. AAS? Any advice?
Was wondering if it makes a difference to a four year university if I have a general AA degree or an AAS? I'm going to community college right now and am trying to decide on a major. I'm thinking I will probably major in graphic arts or possibly do a double major in graphic arts and photography. However, does it look better to the college to have an AAS instead of a general AA? Or does it matter? Or is the only point of getting an AAS in graphic arts so that I can work right away???
Answer:
If you want to do the 2 year transfer thing and finish your associate's then have all of your general ed done when you transfer to the university, you need to do the AA. In my state, and most states I know of, only the AA, AS, or AFA will suffice for transferring. Of course you can transfer with an AAS, but your general ed won't be considered completed and since most classes will be technical, they likely won't transfer. If you want to go into the arts field, try finding a community college that has an art department. Mine has an AFA (associate in fine arts) degree program where the majority of classes you take will be introductory art and design classes, but the degree will still transfer as a whole and your general ed will be considered completed. The AAS is like you said, mainly for people who plan on going straight into the work field.As far as which degree they'll be most impressed by, it really doesn't matter if it's AA, AS, AFA, or AAS, it's your grades, GPA, and course selection that matter.

Question : About how many classes is it from an AAS degree to an AA degree?
I have my AAS from Heald College. I want to get my AA from a local city college. I know at Heald it's 8 classes which is 6 months but it's also another few grand. Has anybody went to Heald? I know a lot of people say some credits don't transfer. I'm just wondering if anybody has a general idea of how long it will take. Thanks in advance
Answer:
Ask the admissions office at your local city college.

Question : I have an AAS Degree, how much longer will it take to get a BA?
Obviously other details come into play, but I'm 23, have my AAS-Marketing degree and can transfer into two schools. One, I can get Junior status in any of the majors they offer and the other I can get Junior status in their Marketing major. On top of this, I spent a year and a half at my community college taking general education courses because I originally thought I was going to transfer anyway, but plans changed. I have 30 general education credits, I just don't know if they will all transfer/cancel stuff out.So, all that said, roughly how long do you think I can expect it to take? Two years? Perhaps less? I would plan on taking whatever class I could in the summer too. Usually I wouldn't really care about the time frame, but I'm 23 and I feel kind of worthless/like a loser since a lot of my friends are done getting their BA's and are getting started in their careers. It's either this route, or just hope for the best with my Associates.
Answer:
Two years usually - although some schools exiguous that can accelerate it a bit. Check out:http://cps.regis.edu/academic-programs.phphttp://www.bellevue.edu/ThanksBill

Question : Should I get an AA or AAS in Human Services?
I plan on going to a community college this fall. I do plan at this time to be a social worker when I am out of college, but I do have a question.Would it be more beneficial to get an Associates of Applied Science in Social Work or an Associates of Art in Social Work? Is it possible to to transfer an AAS degree to a 4 year university, even though you don't complete all the general education requirements?I am in Missouri if it helps any.
Answer:
You should go for the AA in social work as you want to complete the general ed. There should be an articulation agreement between your CC and the College. You probably want to meet with your advisor in CC and also talk with the folks in the social work dept. Your goal should be to transfer in as a Junior to the college and not have to take any other lower division courses. DA

Question : From AS in Business Administration to AAS in RN?
I just graduated with my AS in Business Administration and I cant seem to find anything. If I decided to enter a nursing program (RN), how long would it take at community college?Do I have to do the full 2 years including general requirements all over again? OR- can I just fullfil the nursing prereq's and nursing courses and then be eligible for licensure?
Answer:
If it's in the same college that most likely you just need to take nursing classes (something like composition will get transferred) I am in the same situation -)))

Question : How to get my AAS at a community college, and transfer to a 4 year University?
I heard in order to transfer from a community college to a 4 year university, you need to take the general courses that will actually transfer to the university.Nursing is a career I have in mind.. and maybe later if it is something I want to study further, I will consider becoming a nurse practitioner. But for now, I'm wondering.. I heard that I need my AAS (associates) in nursing (RN) .. at the community college.But, how do I get that if I need to take general courses that will be what transfers?Sorry, I'm still confused as to how everything works..Thank you in advance :)
Answer:
Here's the thing that you need to understand which will help you a lot in figuring out what to do next......and I hate it when I have to explain this, because it usually means that some hapless new associates degree holder is just finding out the hard way that his/her "Associate of Applied Science" (AAS) degree is not as good for purposes of transferring into a four-year bachelors degree program as an "Associate of Arts" (AA) or an "Associate of Science" (AS) degre would have been. I wish these small colleges, community colleges, technical colleges, junior colleges, etc., would explain this better so that their enrollees, students and graduates would not be confused and/or taken by surprise.An AAS degree is pretty okay for career purposes (though nearly never as good as a four-year bachelors degree). However, an AAS doesn't transfer well into most bachelors degrees because it's not really an "academic" degree in the same sense as most AA and/or AS degrees.Whether an AAS, an AS, or an AA, it's usually a two-year, approximately sixty-semester-credit-hour degree.With an AA or AS degree, nearly the entire two years (actually, at least one year; and in most AA or AS degree, usually the entire first year plus maybe one-third to one-half of the second year) is devoted to what's called "lower-division general education" (LDGE).LDGE usually has nothing to do with whatever is the associates degree's major. It's "general" education... the same type which four-year bachelors degrees require during their first year or two......hence the reason that most AA or AS degrees are transferable, on their face, straight into four-year bachelors degree programs; and when so, said AA or AS degree is usually counted as the entire freshman and sophomore years of said bachelors degree program, thereby allowing the transferee to begin the bachelors program in the junior year, leaving only two more years (the junior and senior years) to complete the bachelors.LDGE usually includes stuff like two English Comp classes, one or two math classes (usually at least one of which must have a title like "College Math" or "College Algebra"), two natural science courses, two social science courses, one or two (or more) humanties courses, maybe a language course, maybe a computer literacy course, etc., etc.LDGE provides not only a good, general, all-'round education, regardless of the degree's major; but it also exposes the student to a broad range of subjects so that selecting a major will be easier.A typical AA or AS degree will consist of anywhere from 30 to 45 semester credit hours of LDGE; leaving only from 15 to 30 (usally closer to 15 to 18) semester credit hours for courses in the degree's major. (Remember that an AA or AS is only 60 semester credit hours, so the number of LDGE hours are subtracted from 60... and that's how many hours are allowed in the AA's or AS's "major".)However, a typical AAS degree is more concerned about training the student for a job or career, not so much for transferring into a bachelors program.Therefore, most AAS degrees have maybe one-third to sometimes as many as one-half the number of LDGE courses in them. It's very common, for example, for a typical AAS degree to contain only around 18 to maybe 24 semester credit hours of LDGE.While that's good for training in whatever is the AAS's major (since fewer LDGE courses leaves more room for courses in the major), it makes for a lousy associates degree for use in transferring into a four-year bachelors program.Since most four-year bachelors programs require from maybe 36 (on the low end) to (I've seen as many as) 48 semester credit hours (on the high end) of LDGE, you can easily do the math and see that a typical AAS degree holder with 18 to 24 semester credit hours of LDGE in his/her AAS degree will typically be short anywhere from 12 to maybe even as many as 30 semester credit hours of LDGE if s/he tries to transfer his/her AAS degree into a typical bachelors program.Schools which award AAS degrees, but which don't make sure their enrollee/students are painfully aware of all this are disingenuous... even bordering on fraudulent......and I just HATE to see that. It makes me furious; and I end-up feeling really bad for the AAS graduate who finds all this out the hard way.But all's not lost. All you really have to do is sit down with an advisor, and a course credit worksheet, and figure out which of your AAS courses can count as LDGE, and which will then count as general electives (or maybe even courses in the major); and from there you and the advisor can figure out how many more LDGE courses you'll have to take in order to satisfy the LDGE requirements of the bachelors degree.With any luck, depending on how many LDGE courses are in your AAS, you'll only have to take from three to maybe five (six at the most) LDGE courses to get all caught-up; and from there you can concentrate on the bachelors degree's both courses in the major and general electives.Now... another important thing...You mentioned getting an associates degree to become an RN. Sadly, in most states, one cannot become an RN (a "registered nurse") with only an associates (or even an AAS) degree. In most states, one must obtain a "Bachelor of Science in Nursing" (BSN) in order to become an RN.Those with associate-degree-level degrees (AA, AS or AAS) can, in most states, only become a "Licensed Practical Nurse" (LPN), or maybe a "Licensed Vocational Nurse" (LVN), or something like that. In those states, only a BSN holder can sit for the NCLEX-RN exam and, if passed, apply for an RN license.So it's unlikely that you'd be able to become an RN after completing a community college (or any other kind of) two-year (or even two-plus-year) associates degree.And a Nurse Practitioner is, in pretty much EVERY state, something which only the holder of a "Master of Science in Nursing" (MSN) can be... and even then, there's also a rigorous practicum involved. And, of course, one cannot get an MSN unless one first has an undergrad (bachelors) degree... preferably a BSN (though other bachelors degrees are sometimes allowed, depending on the school and the state); and most MSNs that are intended to result in their holders becoming Nurse Practitioners also require a few years of nursing experience as an RN. So there's no quick-and-easy route to becoming a Nurse Practitioner (NP)......as well it should be... after all, an NP can diagnose and even prescribe, just like a physician. An NP, therefore, must be HIGHLY trained and qualified!So, unless you want to be an LVN or LPN first, and then maybe do some additional coursework to satisfy the LDGE requirement of most any BSN program into which you ultimately enter, I would strongly advise you to get an AA or AS degree from your local community college. Then transfer that, on its face, into a BSN program. So doing will likely result in the AA or AS (most likely an AS if it's a BSN into which you'd like it to transfer) will count as the entire first two (freshman and sophomore) years of the BSN, leaving only the last two (junior and senior) years of the BSN to complete.I'd stay away from any AAS degrees, were I you. That's just my advice, mind you... and you're free to disagree with it. But you'd be smarter to follow it.Hope that helps. Good luck to you.

Question : Transferring an AAS in Radiology?
I'm really quite confused. I'm majoring an AAS Degree in Radiology and am told to avoid AAS degrees, because they don't transfer, since I'll eventually be going to a University one day. Why would I want to get an AA/AS degree though? After 2 years, I still won't be making any money and still be where I was when I started, but with an AAS, I actually get to work, make connections, do something in life and not work minimum wage for another 2 years. What makes an AAS less than an AA/AS? I'm fairly certain AAS has SOME general education courses. Also, after I do get my degree, what's next? BS in Radiology? Or some specialized field?
Answer:
Some of the classes you're taking won't transfer to a university because the university needs to offer the same class, and most of them don't offer radiology tech classes. You might have to start over. If you want to be a radiologist, you need a bachelors degree in something, the premed classes, then med school, then a residency in radiology. Radiologists don't study radiology until after med school.
