Learn Refactoring Rails
Learn the refactorings, patterns, and best practices that will let you ship quickly even as your Rails app matures.
Ship like your Rails app is still brand new
If you've worked on a Rails app for a while, chances are you've seen your development speed slow down.
Some of this is inevitable—as the number of features goes up, adding more tends to get harder. However, smart programming decisions can delay this slowdown, and that's what this course is all about.
I've been writing and maintaining Rails apps for 8 years (including 6 at thoughtbot). This course contains the hard-won wisdom I wish I'd had when I got started.
About Me
I'm Ben Orenstein.
You might recognize me as the creator of Refactoring from Good to Great, or How to Talk to Developers.
I spent 6 years working at thoughtbot in Boston, where we obsessed about code quality and keeping shipping speed high. In a way, Refactoring Rails is the distillation of the best ideas I took from my time there.
Testimonials
I've seen some of what Ben is putting together and it's REALLY good. Rails Devs: You should check it out!
I would highly recommend Ben Orenstein's Refactoring Rails course if you want to level up your Rails skills!
