Along with Metaprogramming Ruby, a must read for Ruby/Rails devs
By Ambert Ho on September 12, 2010
Format: Paperback
I never review books on Amazon. But I wrote a review for Metaprogramming Ruby (Feb 2010 Pragmatic Programmers) because it was just such a must-read. And I'm writing one for this, because it's also a must-read. The target audience for this book is the intermediate Rails developer who has his all-in-one app with background processing, and is wondering "what next"? "What if tomorrow users start joining my site by the droves?" "What if I'm written up on TC / Digg / Slashdotted tomorrow?"

If I HAD to give criticism, the only thing I could think of is that this book goes into implementation details for some subjects but not others. For example, it has pages and pages of code to illustrate how to write a service in rails, Sinatra, Rack, but skips over a lot of ops related stuff. If you were going about implementing the ideas in this book, those issues would confront you far before you write your services, do your load balancing and edge caching, etc. I would love for Dix to write a second book on that topic. That's just nitpicking, though - part of the reason I think Dix went into depth with the code goes back to the target audience: it is very helpful to show Sinatra and Rack analogues to a guy who has only used Rails.

Great intro to scalable designs for Ruby programmers
By Jason W. Dixon on September 11, 2010
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I'm a little tired right now to give a thorough review, but I wanted to get something down to benefit other potential buyers. First off, let me give some background on myself so you have a point of reference. I've been programming web software and services as a hobby for the last 10 years. My forte has always been with Perl, with a recent desire to try newer languages like Python and Ruby. My particular interest in this book stems from a new project I'm working on that lends itself to a service-oriented design from the get-go. I have no other experience with Ruby or Rails except for short periods of "play time" with Rails when it first became popular, years ago. But I'm *very* experienced with service-oriented and scalable internet architectures (I work for OmniTI), so I expected much of the book to be a rehash of what I'm exposed to on a daily basis anyways.

The author (Paul Dix) immediately throws the reader into a sample web service, typical to any modern REST web application. What I really appreciated was how he stressed the test-driven development approach via rspec, although it might have been beneficial to give a bit more background into the advantages of TDD and the specifics of rspec within Ruby and Rails testing. Nevertheless there is sufficient coverage of the process to get the reader off on the right foot. There are a few bugs in the included code examples that have either been fixed in the github repository ([...]).

Chapter 2 describes the philosophies and methodologies behind service-oriented designs and the differentiators to SOA, XML-RPC and related books such as "RESTful Web Services".Read more ›

The best ruby book I've read in a long time
By Jeff M. Dean on October 27, 2010
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
It's rare that I read a ruby book these days and learn something new in every chapter, but I did from this book. The title doesn't do the book justice. The ruby examples use Rack, Sinatra and Rails (including Rails 3 examples) to demonstrate how to quickly build and test REST services and service clients.

It covers everything from high-level architecture decisions, like when to introduce services and how to decide what goes where, to seemingly small details, like dealing with serving pagination links in apis.

The only downside is that it could have gone into more detail about how to run apps with multiple services locally.

I read it cover to cover, and frequently refer to it. I highly recommend it to anyone working on moderate to large Rails apps. It completely demystified SOA for me.

Relatively superficial introduction
By tomblomfield on December 30, 2012
Format: Paperback
As a software engineer tasked with implementing a new service-oriented design in Ruby, I was really hoping this book was going to teach me something new.

Instead, it spent most of the time regurgitating HTTP status code specs & explaining basic RESTful design patterns. For some reason, the author decided that the advantages SOA provides in reducing your test suite runtime were so great that they deserved reiterating over a dozen times.

Not a terrible book, but disappointing if you're coming from a professional programming background.

Lacks depth
By David Barri on November 7, 2011
Format: Paperback
I was disappointed reading this. It does have patches of good information but I felt that nearly every chapter would mention a problem space or an area of interest, mention 6 or products or libraries, ramble on about intricacies of a single library, show a few code examples for a very limited scenario, then move on to the next chapter. After reading the book cover-to-cover I don't feel that I learnt much, I feel like a mate gave me a verbal overview.

Fantastic content, but outdated code
By Peter Barnes on June 21, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I give this book 5 stars because of it's fantastic content, however to people buying the book you should know that the code is outdated. This book was made back when Rails 2 was popular and now we're on to Rails 4.1 and a lot of things have changed. He also talks about Rspec which has also changed a lot.

If you're planning on buying this book I would strongly recommend that you have a good knowledge of Rails and Sinatra, as Sinatra is what you start the book with, and is also just a good framework to know. A good knowledge of Rspec is also good.

A solid overview of how to implement SOA in Rails

Despite being a few years old, this book holds up pretty well. Great coverage of big picture concepts. Wish there was more code.
