No one talks about OOP the way Sandi Metz does. It’s fair to say, I didn’t really get OOP until I read POODR.
The video and its transcription is here.
If you really want to get to grips with Ruby development and gain a solid understanding of Object Oriented Design, I thoroughly recommend Sandi Metz's Practical Object Oriented Design in Ruby. It's the perfect introduction to OOP and pragmatic Ruby. You can buy it here.
“Meticulously pragmatic and exquisitely articulate, Practical Object Oriented Design in Ruby makes otherwise elusive knowledge available to an audience which desperately needs it. The prescriptions are appropriate both as rules for novices and as guidelines for experienced professionals.”
