5.0 out of 5 stars Elevate Your Rails Craft: The Go-To Guide for Advanced Design Patterns
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Must-read for career Rails devs
I loved this book, and found it very timely given the many questions and opinions I've seen in the community over the past couple years, about how to grow Rails applications beyond what the framework gives you out-of-the-box.As an overarching concept, Vladimir lays out a compelling vision for an "Extended Rails Way" that first guides us on how to use the baked-in abstractions well, and then helps us imagine how we could extract new abstraction layers that really feel like they could be Rails.The book helped me see how I could turn design patterns into new, cohesive abstractions that rhyme with Rails, creating more harmonious codebases with reduced cognitive burden.Vladimir provides clear perspective and helpful recommendations around some of Rails' most contentious features, including callbacks and concerns.Throughout the book, there's a repeated pattern of showing less-than-ideal examples, and then reasoning our way into one or more improved solutions. I found observing his thinking here to be really informative and helpful.I was impressed by how comprehensive the book is, covering all the topics you'd expect, like Active Record and Active Storage, plus those you might not expect, like filter objects, notifications, view components, and even configuration and logging.Long story short, this is now one of two Rails books I'll be recommending that all Rails devs read.
5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic resource for intermediate and above Rails developers
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great for leveling up your Ruby on Rails skills
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource to level-up your Rails-fu
This book is mostly geared towards intermediate to senior-level Rails engineers, but more junior-level folks can still benefit from the information contained therein.The first several chapters are an overview of how Rails works which are essential for any engineer who wants to get the most out of Rails. The rest of the book are a collection of different design patterns that someone could employ to make an existing application easy to reason about.I wouldn't recommend starting with these advanced design patterns or else you run the risk of over-engineering and introducing too much complexity unnecessarily, but if you've got an existing app that's starting to look a little crufty, these patterns can help you to abstract away the cruft in more convention-y way.The content of the book is great. It's easy to read and follow. A bit dry at times (but what technical resource isn't dry?).
A solid Rails book
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.
