[LRUG] Architecture Of Things

[Riccardo Tacconi]

Hi,

This is an online course about Rails internals: http://owningrails.com/. It
is really informative. I can recommend 'Clean Ruby' since it talks about
the DCI pattern and other OOP techniques; that book is more about of how to
organize your code in maintainable and readable way. I can second Martin
Fowler’s book 'Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture' to
understand the patterns used in Rails but Design Patterns in Ruby could be
helpful too.
