Bulletproof Ruby on Rails Applications

Confident Developers Think Differently

About the Book

My goal with this book is to expose you to a new way of thinking about your Ruby on Rails applications and help you become 10x more confident in the code you write.

Here’s what you can expect to get out of it:

  • How to plan and execute features for maximum productivity
  • Instantly 10x your confidence in the code you write
  • Improve your code even if you're not a senior developer yet
  • How to defer refactoring for later
  • How to make your code easy to change
