The Unhappy Path
Failure Management Patterns in Ruby and Rails
In the book I’m demonstrating how to model application around service objects. I’m describing a layer of abstraction which in significant way improves code readability, testability, and maintenance. I’m paying a particular attention to error handling, which is one of the key subjects of the book.

About the Book
We have all experienced moments when our app does not work as expected: failing validations, exceptions raised... When this happens, our code ends up becoming defensive against potential failure and overall quality deteriorates. I will show how to model code as a succession of commands with success and error paths.
