review 1: A good compilation of smells and design flaws found in common Rails applications. However I think that someone who has spend a year with rails probably shouldn't be surprised by most of the suggested practices and refactorings. Looks like daily business to me.The one chapter that really stood out though was the one about testing. There's definitively something to take away from this chapter, even if you've been doing Rails development for years.
review 2: Once you learn all the things you CAN do with technology, and muddle around with mistakes, you're ready to learn what you SHOULD do. Rails AntiPatterns presents common mistakes that Rails coders make, and then explains one-to-many better alternatives for solving the same issues. The book is easy to read, has s
... moreolid code examples, and explains WHY the alternatives it presents are better. I read this cover-to-cover, and plan to keep it accessible and refer to it often. Must-read for Rails developers. less

Strongly recommended for Rails developers looking for an intermediate-level Rails book.
sidds
Nothing very profound, but probably useful to a new/mid level Rails developer.
marianna
Good content, but out of date due to being last updated for Rails 3.
