It covers ground that a Rails developer has to otherwise learn over a few years of painful experience. Namespaces to organize code and keep your individual objects (especially ActiveRecord models) thin, clean terse controllers, service objects and form objects, managing stylesheets etc. The book is worth the money just for the chapter on Namespaces.</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Sep 5, 2014 at 10:52 PM, Ben Ridgway <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:benridgway83@gmail.com" target="_blank">benridgway83@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div>Russ Olsen's Eloquent Ruby is excellent and has a good intro to metaprogramming in ruby at the end.
