Reddit reviews Rails AntiPatterns: Best Practice Ruby on Rails Refactoring (Addison-Wesley Professional Ruby) (Addison-Wesley Professional Ruby Series)

Personal favorites:

Crafting Rails Applications by core team member Jose Valim - http://plataformatec.com.br/crafting-rails-applications

Rails Anti-Patterns - http://www.amazon.com/Rails-AntiPatterns-Refactoring-Addison-Wesley-Professional/dp/0321604814

Getting a bit dated now but rails anti-patterns is a decent book.

Also, this blog post is gold

EDIT: ruby science is also recommended by some people, but i didn't get a lot out of it - it doesn't even mention many of the modern refactorings such as service objects and so on, and i couldn't stand the way its structured, makes it very hard to find what i'm looking for.

To go further with Rails, it's a good idea to go further with Ruby. Some of my favorites:

Rails AntiPatterns

Metaprogramming Ruby

Practical Object-Oriented Design in Ruby

Everyday Rails Testing with RSpec

read these two books:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rails-AntiPatterns-Refactoring-Addison-Wesley-Professional/dp/0321604814/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1517938240&sr=8-1&keywords=rails+antipatterns
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Practical-Object-Oriented-Design-Ruby-Addison-Wesley/dp/0321721330/ref=pd_cp_14_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=RPRY329V1QV4P8C1AJE8
They are both a bit old, but totally valid. The one is more practical (and about rails, if your Ruby job is indeed a Rails job), the other more general on OO design.

Thanks for the feedback, means a lot! Michael Hartl's tutorial really got me going with Rails. After going through that tutorial, I played around with a personal project that was structured very similar to just-eat. Once I had a pretty decent understanding of rails I read Rails Anti-Patterns. I highly recommend those two resources as they are both written very well. Everything I used for this site is: Ruby on Rails, JavaScript (and jQuery), BootStrap and SASS. Let me know if you have any further questions. Glad to hear you signed up, hope you enjoy the site!

If you're looking for more than tutorials or picking up a project as a learning experience, Code Complete by Steve McConnell and (though getting a bit dated) The Pragmatic Programmer are classics in improving your development skills. I'm also looking at Clean Code next, looks very useful for those of us in the trenches who often have to throw out some code with limited time and ever changing requirements.

Also if you're going to be digging into any rails stuff by chance, I can highly recommend Rails AntiPatterns as a great reference for more than the basics, as well as the Destroy All Software podcasts (which cover more advanced topics than most podcasts).

I've learned a lot by reading Rails Anti-patterns. http://www.amazon.com/Rails-AntiPatterns-Refactoring-Addison-Wesley-Professional/dp/0321604814

Rails Antipatterns by Chad Pytel and Tammer Saleh:

It's a little bit outdated, as it was written for Rails 3, but there's a lot of good stuff in that book.
