How to build a complete, real-world application from scratch with Ruby on Rails step by step.
A lot of Ruby code is "magic". We'll explain the magic and see how it works using the powerful tools Ruby gives us.

MQTT is a message protocol for Internet of Things devices. It's very similar to pubsub where you can broadcast and subscribe to different topics. Learn how to send messages to an MQTT broker in this tutorial.
Learn how to use a PMS5003 air quality sensor with Ruby on the Raspberry Pi. We'll use this to monitor air quality and gather data.
In this episode, we will be looking into Ruby's eigenclasses or singleton classes. We will first look at singleton methods and then how we can access the eigenclasses of objects.
In this video, we will explore how the concepts we looked at in "Flattening Scopes in Ruby" are used in Rails by taking a look at the assert_difference method. We will walk through how the method works while taking note of where the concepts are applied.
In this video, we will look at how to use blocks and bindings in Ruby to pass local variables across different scopes.
Using ensure with blocks is extremely helpful for cleaning up things. We'll learn how to use ensure in Ruby for cleaning up open files as well as temporarily changing values for requests or test stubs.
Designing code for composability allows you to make code more testable, flexible, and easier to adapt in the long term. We'll look at how I recently refactored the Receipts gem so that you can easily customize receipts and still use built-in components.
How do we test API requests in a Rubygem to make sure that we're integrating correctly with our backend? We'll learn how to use stubs to fake out the request and test our code without any network requests.
The core of any API wrapper is the actions for create, read, update, and delete. We'll implement the CRUD for a resource so you can see how to do it and wire up everything together that we've built so far.
The core of an API wrapper Rubygem is defining the Resource endpoints so developers can make requests cleanly. We'll also learn how to handle pagination for endpoints that return a list of results.
When you receive a JSON response from an API endpoint, it's really easy to convert this to a Ruby hash. But hashes don't feel very Ruby-ish when you're working with them and you can't add methods and treat them like objects.
Last episode, we built a multi-threaded HTTP server from scratch using Ruby. This week, we'll enhance our web server by adding Rack and Rails support.
Ever wondered how Puma, Unicorn, or other Ruby HTTP servers work? We'll build one from scratch with pure Ruby so you can see exactly how it works.
Sometimes you may need to wrap and reraise an exception. Ruby 2.1+ makes this easy by letting us raise a new error, pass in the old one, and automatically assigns the exceptions "cause" which is the original exception.
Sometimes you might want to keep track of all classes a module was included in. We can do that with a couple nifty tricks to make this work with both regular Ruby modules and Rails concerns.
Today we're refactoring Andrew Mason's GitHub Action that runs Rubocop against your repository. We'll pull out some concepts, remove conditionals, and use several other techniques to clean up the code.
Learn how to remove conditionals and make your code simpler and more reliable using Ruby and ActiveSupport's Array wrap methods
Ever wondered what the difference between Symbols and Strings were? Why would we use one over the other when most languages only have strings?
