Everyday Rails Testing
with RSpec is my first book! Learn how to test your
Rails applications the way I did and test with confidence, by focusing on core technologies and
simple, readable tests that pass. Learn more. Updates
coming in 2024!
Everyday Rails is a blog for
people who need to build stuff with Rails and get on to their next
project. Sometimes it's still about Ruby and Rails, though these days I
tend to think and write about broader topics there. I'm trying to post
here about once a month.
Sound Refound is an online gallery
of promotional flyers for concerts. I've collected these over the years,
primarily in the Lawrence, Kansas, and Seattle, Washington areas.
Everyday Rails RSpec Snippets
is a collection of snippets to speed up and simplify writing tests in Visual Studio Code,
as taught in my Rails testing book.
I use these snippets every day to speed up my test-driven development!
Next projects coming soon.
Honestly, I don't know right now. But you should probably
subscribe to my newsletter
to see what happens, or follow me on
Mastodon or
LinkedIn.
Thank you!
