Very well-produced, clear and informative podcast for intermediate Rails developers

“I think it is safe to assume that most developers have learned to use Ruby on Rails through the "Agile Web Development with Rails" book. As that book is great for beginners, it does not deal with special features and techniques needed to master our most beloved framework. Besides the "Rails Recipes" book, the DZone Snippets site and planetrubyonrails.{com/org} blog aggregators, I have struggled to find content to improve my Rails skills on a daily basis... and then Railscasts came ! Railscasts seems to fill the gap perfectly: 3 times a week, for about 5 minutes each, Ryan Bates teaches us a specific feature or technique of Rails, applying it on a real-world example. The podcast focuses on one particular task on purpose, to reduce the learning curve and allow to see it applied quickly. Who can spend half an hour per blog post, trying to figure out how to make best of a new technique ? Even though some techniques might seem a bit too easy, I am sure that you'll quickly run into a new useful trick. I know I have... I also find that having the presentation in screencast format is a big plus: I tend to get a somewhat clearer understanding of the feature that I would have, had I read it on a blog post or article. Due to Ryan's great work, Railscasts has become my favorite technological podcast recently: it is regularly updated, very well-produced, clear and informative. For all you intermediate Rails developers who, like me, do not have the time to dig deeper into Rails' source code, I strongly recommend the podcast. Thank you Ryan, for making those quality podcasts available to the whole Rails community for free.”

“Finally there are tutorials aimed at the intermediate developer. There are lots of beginner's resources, and some that are WAY over my head. These are just right. The examples are stripped down to demonstrate a single topic in a concise, understandable manner. A great addition to the Rails...”Read full review »

“I think the short and frequent episodes are perfect. Each is very focused and professionally done. Even for topics that I think I know quite well I usually walk away with some little tip. Often it's a new TextMate shortcut that I picked up while watching his keystrokes float by.”
