Description

The Ruby on Rails framework boosts productivity by leveraging the convention-over-configuration principle and model-view-controller (MVC) pattern, enabling developers to build features efficiently. This initial simplicity often leads to complexity, making a well-structured codebase difficult to maintain. Written by a seasoned software engineer and award-winning contributor to many other open-source projects, including Ruby on Rails and Ruby, this book will help you keep your code maintainable while working on a Rails app. You’ll get to grips with the framework’s capabilities and principles to harness the full potential of Rails, and tackle many common design problems by discovering useful patterns and abstraction layers. By implementing abstraction and dividing the application into manageable modules, you’ll be able to concentrate on specific parts of the app development without getting overwhelmed by the entire codebase. This also encourages code reuse, simplifying the process of adding new features and enhancing the application's capabilities. Additionally, you’ll explore further steps in scaling Rails codebase, such as service extractions. By the end of this book, you’ll become a code design specialist with a deep understanding of the Rails framework principles.

As someone who has been writing Ruby on Rails code for over 15 years, I can honestly say that this book by Vladimir Dementyev is a treasure trove of insights for seasoned developers. This book delves deep into the intricate layers of Rails, offering a sophisticated understanding that goes beyond the basics. Whether it's tackling the nuances of Active Record or discussing complex layered architectures, the book makes you rethink and refine your approach to Rails development. One of my favorite parts was the chapter on authorization models; it provided me with a comprehensive look at something so essential, yet often overlooked. But the book doesn't stop at just offering advice; it also encourages you to experiment and find your own best practices. For those of us dealing with mature, more complex systems, this book is a godsend. It's not just another Rails book; it's an investment in mastering your craft.

I just love reading an up to date rails book with valuable insight from a seasoned dev. I’ve really enjoyed this one. Layered design should be the new rails way.

Trey Oct 11, 2023

This is a great read for intermediate Ruby on Rails developers and software engineers in general. The book provides clear and easy-to-follow examples. Many of the examples only require a slightly higher level of understanding beyond beginner-level Rails knowledge, making it accessible to a wide audience.One aspect I appreciate is that the design principles taught in this book can be applied to other languages and frameworks. For instance, Chapter 9 discusses various authorization models, which I found very helpful. Many other software engineering books either skim over how to implement authorization or provide overly simplistic examples.If you're a language-agnostic programmer, like me, who knows Ruby on Rails, you'll find this book to be incredibly valuable.

This isn't a book for beginning Rails developers, but for those who already know the framework and have worked in with it for awhile, this book is a great resource for leveling up. It covers not only the Rails way, but it also describes how to grow large applications sensibly once the basic Rails abstractions are no longer enough. It gives examples of different patterns and abstractions as well as how to evaluate whether or not they are a good fit for your application. I appreciate this nuanced approach, because every application is different and there are tradeoffs to everything.The book also covers several Rails antipatterns and discusses common Rails concepts such as thin controller/fat model and where those ideas can lead to problems in large applications. Additionally every chapter ends with thoughtful questions for the reader and exercises to illustrate the points raised in the chapter. Many also include a list of resources for further reading on the topic. To get the most out of the book you'll want to clone the associated repository and work through the questions and exercises.This is an incredible resource for those looking to take their Rails development practices to the next level, with great advice on dealing with the complexities that come with larger applications.
