After more than 15 months since the last post, and constant questions from users, I’m finally ready to bring The Rails Way back from hibernation.
The challenge I had here was the amount of time involved. Review articles are incredibly time consuming, scouring an application for code to improve can take hours, making the changes takes time, and all of that is dependent on getting that perfect submission.
So while I intend to continue to do review pieces here (keep those submissions coming in) I’m going to extend the format here to include a few different kinds of posts. I’ll be doing some focussed introductory pieces which cover the best practices for a few tricky areas that I see experienced rails programmers getting wrong. I’ll also be doing a few ‘soapboxy’ pieces where I can address misinformation about Rails and Ruby or just advocate a particular piece of technology or code that I think is really cool.
One of my primary goals with this relaunch will be to post regularly, but I’m not going to try and stick to a schedule that takes the fun out of it for me. Some weeks might see multiple posts, and others will see none at all. I’m just hoping that you guys will enjoy most of them.
The Rails Way is all about teaching "best practices"
