Best practices

glu.ttono.us has posted an excellent summary of his take on Rails best practices.

And I think I need to do some reading, that the second time in as many days that someone mentions Refactoring by Martin Fowler, and this has me intrigued.

My top favorites:

• testing of course
• I second Luke. Selenium and Selenium on Rails is a better approach for functional (and user type testing). I’m not saying this should replace it. Use both techniques.
• DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself)
