Ask HN: Rails Resources?

Posted by methochris on Monday November 27, 2017 @08:31AM
from the ask-hn dept.

The beginner-level stuff is bountiful but I am having trouble tracking down anything beyond the basics. Could anyone list/link where do you go for more advanced how-to's with Ruby on Rails and/or some opensource projects that are readable and "best practices"-like?

Thanks in advance.

http://rebuilding-rails.com/ by Noah Gibbs is a nice resource if you find it helpful to understand things at a lower layer of abstraction. It is particularly useful for giving you the background that you can do something like replacing controllers with middlewares in order to increase modularity/testability (see https://gocardless.com/blog/coach/).

There's a long list on https://github.com/ekremkaraca/awesome-rails, the most "grown up" app might be https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq

https://rubyweekly.com/ collects advanced articles, conference summaries, new tools. I prefer it over blogs or individual tutorials.

https://gorails.com/ has a ton of solid videos.

Railscasts has been extremely helpful for me (http://railscasts.com/); and now all the content is free!

any issues with the railscasts videos being so outdated? i can't imagine much of the earlier stuff carries over

FWIW, I used to reference rails 3 features all the time when doing rails 4 development.

Also, maybe this was just my learning needs ... I was helped by seeing how an experienced rails dev handled business logic and UX features.
