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
