Ruby on Rails Design Patterns and Refactoring

In Rails Design Patterns and Refactoring, you'll learn how to refine and scale your Ruby on Rails applications. We'll start by exploring foundational design patterns and linking them with Ruby and OOP best practices.


In modern web development, maintaining clean, efficient, and scalable code can be challenging, especially as applications grow in complexity. While you might have the basics of Rails down, there are many design patterns and strategies, and best practices that can be implemented to make a Rails application shine. In this course, Ruby on Rails Design Patterns and Refactoring, you'll learn to enhance and streamline your Ruby on Rails applications using advanced design patterns and refactoring techniques. First, you’ll explore a few foundational design patterns, and review some Ruby and OOP best practices to see how best practices are related. Moving forward, we’ll do some refactoring of our existing ‘WikiApp’ - which, in its bare-bone state, will give us a perfect sandbox to explore refactoring and optimizing views and controllers. Finally, we’ll explore Rail’s granularity and customizability with concerns, helpers. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have a comprehensive understanding of Rails design patterns and refactoring strategies, equipped to build more maintainable, scalable, and efficient Ruby on Rails applications. This course is ideal for Rails developers looking to deepen their understanding of design patterns and elevate their coding practices to the next level.
