PeepCode
Rails Code Review PDF
"Preview"
If you’re a beginning Rails developer, this is the book for you! Seventeen chapters show how applications are often written (the wrong way). Then, we show you how it should be done correctly.
It’s more than just a checklist, it’s a tour of well-built applications that will help you build rock-solid web applications.
If you’ve read all the top Rails-related blogs every day for the past two years, you probably know some of what you’ll find here. If you haven’t, you’ll save yourself two years of pain and suffering by reading this book.

What People Are Saying
“Well done! It's nice how Rails makes it easy to divide powerful lessons into small texts. Like Getting Real [by 37signals], this one takes you a long way.” Michael Schwab
“I'm a relatively new Rails developer and have to thank you guys for the outstanding content on your web site. Having nearly worn out my copy of "Agile Web Development with Rails" I felt like there were many over-arching areas of Rails application design that just weren't covered, especially with regard to writing more elegant, lightweight code and overall application structure. Your PDFs and screencasts are the magic potion I've been missing, so thanks to all of you for putting this information out there (and at a reasonable price to boot).” Chris McCann, Developer and Air Force Test Pilot

What People Are Saying About PeepCode
“PeepCode is awesome!” Tim O'Reilly, O'Reilly Media
“These things are fantastic and the price is a steal. I strongly urge you to support this effort and buy the episodes. What a terrific way to learn!” Scott Barron, Rails Core Committer
“[The] git PeepCode book is awesome. Congrats on a job very well done. This should be required reading for all git users.” Jamis Buck, Rails Core Alumnus
“It was refreshing to read about git from the bottom up, and not compared to SVN. I was at the stage where I could do most of the basic tasks I used to do in SVN, but lacked a fundamental understanding of how it was working under the hood...Understanding all those concepts really helped me grok why the higher level commands and workflows work the way they do, and how to avoid some of the pitfalls.” James, in blog comment
“Even if you are not planning to write a Rails plugin, you should absolutely check this book, there are great insights about how Rails works and you will figure out that building a plugin is as easy as anything in Ruby, it’s just a matter of knowing where to place your code.” Codevader Blog
