Ruby on Rails Hacking Guide
summary
Covers concrete internals: Rails has no C-extension and the distributed Rails gem is actually a meta-gem of seven gems (railties, activerecord, actionpack, actionview, etc). Walks the boot path: bin/rails → railties → Rails.application.initialize! → Rack → config.ru → routes → Journey → Dispatcher → controller.action('name') which ends up as a simple Ruby send call. Shows how initializers and Railtie config store procs, and gives a debugging tip puts caller to trace the call stack.
