NWRUG's (Manchester, UK) May 2025 Meeting — Rails AntiPatterns Revisited

Rob Whittaker in United Kingdom

NWRUG is back in Manchester, UK again this week for another session at Colony One.

Nearly 15 years ago, Rails 3 was born from the merger of Rails 2.x and Merb. Around the same time the book Rails AntiPatterns: Best Practice Ruby on Rails Refactoring was released.

Join Chad Pytel, author of Rails AntiPatterns and thoughtbot founder and CEO, as he revisits key AntiPatterns from the book, explores how their solutions hold up today, and reflects on what’s changed (or hasn’t!) in the Rails world since then.

To attend, all you have to do is register here, and turn up this Thursday!

Fatsoma are once again sponsoring the event, so expect plenty tasty pizza for everyone.
