Amelia Bedelia Learns to Code
summary
Begins with concrete Rails mistakes and fixes: edited schema instead of writing a migration and discovering schema timestamps matter, used scaffold for everything and accidentally scaffolding unused controllers and JSON endpoints, raked routes unnecessarily when routes exist as soon as route.rb is changed. Covers gems that bloat dependency graphs, confusing param hashes versus database columns, datetime versus date pitfalls, a baffling time equality test, code review catching errors, and whether these approaches actually worked in real projects.
