As someone learning Ruby and Rails at the moment, and who likes to learn things from the fundamentals, is there a good book or blog series that takes you through it?
Because I’m helping on a Rails app I’m learning a lot of magic, which is awesome for productivity, but I feel like I’m missing some important concepts that tie things together.

Free text, pay for video tutorials IIRC. The course was authored by Nate Berkopec. https://www.youtube.com/user/nateberkopec https://www.youtube.com/user/nateberkopec I also found "the well grounded rubyist" to be very helpful. https://www.manning.com/books/the-well-grounded-rubyist-third-edition https://www.manning.com/books/the-well-grounded-rubyist-thir...
- rkowalick 6y agoThe Well-Grounded Rubyist is my favorite Ruby book because it really drives home just how internally consistent the Ruby object model is. It gave me a deep appreciation for the aesthetics of Ruby.

Ruby’s syntax sugar makes it easy for newcomers to miss the elegance of what’s actually happening with everything being an object and every expression reducing to passing messages between objects. When you dig in and really understand what’s going on, the lightbulb moment is very neat.
- Toutouxc 6y agoI enjoyed 'Eloquent Ruby' by Russ Olsen. It feels nice and friendly, and it gives you a solid understanding of Ruby, the object model, how inheritance works, how and why to use metaprogramming and more.
