Description:

As the size of our Rails applications grow, so does the complexity. In this one day hands-on workshop, we'll cover common mistakes encountered in Rails and how to avoid them. This is an advanced Rails course that assumes familiarity with Rails. Topics covered will include:

• Domain modeling, including schema and database issues such as normalization and serialization
• Object-oriented programming violations to complex SQL and excessive redundancy
• View layer tools and conventions
• Controller-layer code, including RESTful code
• Service-related APIs, including timeouts, exceptions, backgrounding, and response codes
• Scaling and deployment
• Database issues, including migrations and validations

Based on the book by Chad Pytel and Tammer Saleh.
