We have a lot of love & appreciation for the Rails Guides: both for its ease-of-use and comprehensive coverage of the framework.

❓What are your favorite technical docs? Maybe one that you use often and/or consider to be the Gold Standard™️.

Ever thought to yourself, "I really should read this documentation from cover to cover"?

So did we.

Starting with the Ruby on Rails Guides, we read the docs all the way through and discuss what we've learned.

Read along with us!
