A waste of my time to flip through. There is very little of value to be found here, more of a discussion of the most basic level of ruby coding styles, or often, things that have nothing to do with ruby at all. Also, I just straight up disagree with some of the things stated here as fact when they are just this guy's opinion. Maybe if the examples were less generically terrible, the arguments would have made sense, but often he just created more abstract code when the original example would have been preferred in a real situation. Also, my ebook copy was full of typos. For example, in the last section there was a variable about a "user_trail" and it took me about a page to realize it was supposed to be a "trial" and it was a date based range.

Cannot recommend.
