This is a great point. I'm the author of the original article, I'll update to link to specific concerns and also add a couple of the projects that some other people have suggested.
The article was in no way meant to be a definitive resource, just an attempt to continue helping new Rails developers learn how to work with the framework. The many useful comments I've received will help improve the article a lot.
- danieldon 16y agoGreat. I'll reiterate that I recommend highlighting gemcutter. qrush and the contributors have done an excellent job with it, it contains examples of how to approach a variety of tasks (even has examples of using metal, middleware and embeddable sinatra), the code is clear and adheres to conventions and it's used in a real production app that every Ruby developers has contact with.
- mhartl 16y agoTake a look at Ruby on Rails Tutorial (http://www.railstutorial.org/ http://www.railstutorial.org/). The sample application, a tiny Twitter clone, is designed to be fully up-to-date in coding style (though of course it reflects some of my particular idiosyncrasies). I just finished the Rails 2.3 book last week, so a definitive version of the source isn't ready yet, but there will be one eventually. (I'm focusing on the Rails 3 version first.) On the other hand, if you want to follow the tutorial and make a definitive version of the code yourself (preferably with tags for each chapter end), I'd be happy to throw it up on GitHub. And you might just get a nod in the acknowledgments. ;-)
