Braintree Featured In ActiveMerchant Peepcode

I am pleased to announce that Braintree is the featured payment gateway in the new ActiveMerchant Peepcode pdf. Written by Cody Fauser, of JadedPixel, this pdf will get you up and running with credit card processing on your site. ActiveMerchant is a Ruby library devoted to credit card and payment processing. To quote the Peepcode summary:

ActiveMerchant provides a consistent interface to over 30 gateways all around the world and has processed millions of dollars of transactions since 2006. This 70 page book starts with a simple payment and steps through the development of database models and gateway interaction code within a Rails application.

You’ll also learn how to write a comprehensive test suite and integrate the Acts as State Machine plugin to build a reliable payment processing system. Finally, you’ll learn about industry standards and security precautions.

I’ve read through it a couple of times and Peepcode has once again taken a complex topic and made it quite simple. They have a knack for finding writers and screencasters with a passion for teaching and communicate advanced ideas and concepts with ease.

I heartily recommend this work to anyone who hasn’t setup a payment gateway, or even those that have but haven’t used ActiveMerchant.

Congrats to Cody and Peepcode!
