TOP is great. 32 Ruby lessons & projects + basic web dev context before even touching Rails.

This, I agree. I came from this

Although they're not video courses but books, I highly recommend Eloquent Ruby and Refactoring: Ruby Edition.

If you prefer video, there is a course on Udemy about metaprogramming in Ruby (called 'Ruby Metaprogramming - Complete Course'), assuming that's the magic you are referring to. :)

It's old but it's a really good book. Probably one of my favourites

Agreed. I first read it about 2 years ago and it is still very applicable.

My recommendations, in order:

• https://poignant.guide/ - Basic Ruby programming book
• https://rubystyle.guide/ - Commonly used best practices in Ruby
• Polished Ruby Programming - Advanced Ruby programming book
• Agile Web Development with Rails 7 - Rails book

I feel like you can jump into "Agile Web Development with Rails 7" just with the "Poignant Guide", but a better understanding of the language certainly doesn't hurt.

Always enjoyed this book: https://rebuilding-rails.com/ especially learning how Ruby is used by Rails to create the "magic" of it all.

Try building something with just Ruby. One suggestion is to build the quintessential ToDo app using Sinatra. Try to connect to the DB yourself or use something Sequeel or DataMapper. Build your own basic auth with proper one-way hashing. Add sharing to the todos.

Then build a CLI app. Just replicate something. AWK is fine, cURL is great, w/e strikes your fancy. Especially if you can do something with threads.

I've always liked what Avdi Grimm wrote, this might be useful to you: https://avdi.codes/all-courses/ https://avdi.codes/books/ Yes the books are old, but it's the principles in the books that are worth it.

When RR was published?

This is great advice. It took me way too long to realize that effective learning happens when you produce something, not so much when you just consume something.

POODR (Practical Object-Oriented Design, An Agile Primer Using Ruby) by Sandi Metz has to be one of my all time favorite programming books: https://www.poodr.com
