Dissecting Rails - a different approach to learning Rails
summary
Claim: Rails is a collection of extractable libraries rather than an all-or-nothing magic box. Demonstrations show working tiny programs that use ActiveRecord standalone (establish_connection and basic queries), an ActionMailer script that sends templated mail, and ActiveSupport conveniences like 10.minutes.ago and string pluralize, plus the oddity of array.42. Bundler, Rake and Rack are exercised too; ActionCable/ActionView/Controller are noted as tightly coupled and harder to isolate.
