    Here is a simple and opinionated way to learn Ruby I think learning Ruby has three parts: 1. Ruby Syntax 2. OOP + SOLID in Ruby 3. Idiomatic Ruby What follows assumes you already know how to program in any other programming language.

    I discovered Ruby 16 years ago coming from Java and Python. I liked the language from the first moment and it is still the only one that feel like art and engineering in the same time. I love the beauty and elegance of Ruby. #ruby30th happy birthday #Ruby

    How to safely remove a column in Rails It works for Rails 5+ #codesummary #code #ruby #rails #removecolumn
    # How to delete a column from a table  # Step 1️⃣: Set the column to ignored  class User < ActiveRecord::Base   self.ignored_columns = [:username] end  # Trying to access the column will raise an error u = User.first u.username # raises NoMethodError  # Step 2️⃣: Change your code not to use any more that column  # Step 3️⃣: Deploy to production  # and monitor any NoMethodError errors reported  # Step 4️⃣: Add a migration to drop the column  # done

    I'm thinking about starting a podcast or maybe a video series. Would anyone listen to organized debates about Ruby and related topics? I am thinking about topics like: - ServiceObjects vs NoServiceObjects - VScode vs RubyMine vs Vim - Callbacks vs Composition and Delegation

    Have you seen this? Yes, PHP is still the engine that powers the Web, but did you notice who is there too? #Ruby Yes, Ruby is in this stat with 5.4%, but think about it for a second: among the TOP 10 million websites, you see Ruby in front of Java or Javascript. And keep it
