For Rails I highly recommend this course an the accompanying book https://www.edx.org/course/berkeley/cs169-1x/software-servic...

Hartl's Rails tutorial is comprehensive, but does not spend enough time explaining the underlying principles IMO. Writing a test for everything also muddies the water in that tutorial (which does not mean TDD is not good for you).

Which underlying principles do you have in mind? I might use any suggestions you have to augment the next edition.

By the way, though the feedback on the inclusion of TDD has generally been positive, it can get tedious, even for me. I do hope to produce a simpler, test-free Rails intro at some point as a complement to the present tutorial.
