This was the book that taught me the fundamentals of Rails.
If we weren't currently on Rails 6, I'd highly recommend this book.

If you look for a book on how to write applications with Rails you definitely should buy this book. Writing a Rails app starts always easy. The hard part comes as soon as you need to maintain it. Ryan Bigg and Steve Klabnik did a great job in explaining all the parts of their application in a test-first manner. You first write a test, then write the code to implement the functionality. Working this way needs time to get used to, but as soon as you get it your application will have a set of tests that check every feature. If you need to change something, the tests are there to make sure nothing else was broken.
The book shows you all the important parts of Rails and how you can use them to build your own application. Everything you need is covered and should you reach a point where you need to work on your own, then you can use the described approach of TDD to integrate that feature on your own.
The only drawback of this book is that the code samples aren’t easy to read on the Kindle.
