Ask HN: Books to Learn Ruby/Rails?

5•georgel•3w ago
I started a new job where I need to get up to speed with RoR. I've dabbled with it a decade ago, and understand the scaffolding/generators/etc but still feel very out of place on actual fundamentals.

I have been doing lots of iOS, Python, React/Angular and Node.js/Express work for the last 10+ years so I am not looking for "how to learn to program" type books, more so understanding the patterns of Ruby/Rails.

Comments

bigwheeler•3w ago
I’d run through PragProg’s Agile Web with Rails first, and then The Rails 8 Way if you want a reference. Books are good, but jumping into videos from GoRails or Drifting Ruby might help more with real world patterns and problem solving with Rails.
georgel•3w ago
My manager recommended Agile Web Rails 8. Will spend the weekend diving into that.
Alifatisk•3w ago
Rails website has its own guide which is very good on its own!
Leftium•2w ago
Not sure if this would be helpful, but your question reminded me of this classic: https://poignant.guide
