The Rails Way
If you use Rails, you need to read The Rails Way, a blog by Jamis Buck and Michael Koziarski. They take real applications and go through them to find things that could have been done better.
I love it. It’s totally real-world. You get to see some of the problems that you’ve faced and how others handled them and how two totally rock-star Ruby programmers would handle them.
So, I found the site after lunch and I already read every single post they’ve put out. On of my favorite things I’ve learned was memoziation:
an optimization technique used primarily to speed up computer programs by storing the results of function calls for later reuse
I’m going to reread every article again and take notes. It’s that great.
