As someone who loves Ruby and Rails, I'm taking advantage of my sabbatical to re-learn these technologies. In the past, I learned just enough to complete a feature, but I also picked up some bad practices along the way, such as bloated controllers and models, not writing tests, and not fully understanding service objects and PORO.
