I'm a seasoned Symfony 1.4 developer with a good handle on Symfony 2.0, so I'm a bit beyond the basics of frameworks.
I've recently built a solution with Rails 3 and would like to pick up a book to read up on how I could have done some things better.
I'm mostly using Rails as a database layer with very minimal in the ways of ERb. Some topics I'd hope to see covered in advanced detail are:
JSON
Ideas and opinions on how to serve rich internet applications
Good ActiveRecord usage and planning
Writing models and keeping implementation out of controllers
In general, conventions on controllers and actions
There are likely many subjects I'd like to hear about however I'm not interested in focusing too strongly on testing quite yet.
Haven't read this book, but it seems really good Ruby Science
After spending a bit of time with some of the books from the comments above, it looks like Rails Antipatterns is still quite worthwhile.

I want to learn Asp.net MVC6 for developing web Applications , I don't have any knowledge about it and i'm looking for a book,tutorial for absolute beginner and which there is evey detail about Asp.net MVC(I like details )
Thank you
I think that the official documentation is very good with examples and explanation on how to do things.
I have read it while it was still ASP.NET vNext in beta and it was already good with just few interesting things missing. Now it should cover pretty much everything.
I would recommend the .NET Core fundamentals as well, maybe even start with it, but it depends on how you like to study.
Scott Allen has really great tutorial videos.
You can check some of those out here.
Anyways, I started out by watching about 16 hours worth of his videos.
Edit: This link I provided points to MVC5 videos, although I still believe to be useful when learning how to develop asp.net applications.

What do you all think are the best resources for adding a "friendship" system to your rails social networking sites? The main three I have found:
Self-Referential Associations - Railscast
acts_as_network
has_many_friends
However i find that the railscast one tends to be a bit simplistic, and a lack of implementation documentation for the other two. Can anyone recommend any other plugins or tutorials that might help with the development of this aspect of my social network?
Thanks!
If you're using restful authentication I would highly recommend this tutorial. It's not the most elegant fleshed out solution, but it will get you on the right path. I was able to copy the code almost verbatim into an app and it works great.

I was wondering whether there're recommendable sites, that host collections of good and useful code-snippets.
Searching stackoverflow, to be honest, sometimes is priceless.
- But if you know sites like commandlinefu (just for Shell stuff), you may also want something like that for Ruby, Java, Python or C#. There're some small collections, of course. Very often these are specific sites dedicated to be just funny or "wicked cool" (the book series).
I'm just looking for practical stuff to learn from other people's experiences. The standard stuff. Not funny, not wicked. Just pragmatic and workflow-oriented. It seems no one wants to share that.
If you're simply googeling the web and put everything into a growing list of files, there's no overview. So that's not the workflow either, isn't it?
Not really snippets. But quite useful, http://github.com
With many languages, there is http://snippets.dzone.com/
Still with many languages, there is http://codesnippets.joyent.com/
For Django, there is http://www.djangosnippets.org/
After, there's a lot of blogs all other the web giving advices and snippets.
Some others:
Snipplr
RefactorMyCode
Codeproject and codeguru have lots of code snippets which are useful

I need to spend some serious time reading about changes in Ruby 1.9.1 and upcoming Rails 3/Merb. Can people suggest any articles to read?
Not really looking for one answer, just kinda looking for a compilation of resources people are using to keep up with what's coming and what currently exists, so if you stop by, let me know what you're looking at. Thanks!
Rails3 is moving really fast. Updates from books or blog entry is not sufficient enough to keep up with the changes that is happening in Rails3. So I would suggest follow Rails in Github instead, although it might seem scary but I found it much more effective.
articles about Rails 3 - Yehuda Katz's blog
Rails 3 in Action looks like a good place to start. There is an early access edition available.
This is helpful for 1.9
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEkJvvGEtB4
The changelogs for the respective facets of Rails is where I get my information from.

In the past I've used RailsForum.com as a resource, but lately I've come across far too much spam and not enough useful posting. Certainly just my perspective.
So, what do you Rails developers use as a forum resource for the platform?
Use stackoverflow. I've stopped using all the email lists and forums I used to need. This site has reached critical mass so unless your dealing with some really obscure technology I find I get answers quicker here then anywhere else.
The official Ruby On Rails Talk mailing list is a good spot for discussion. I also tend to go to #rubyonrails irc channel on irc.freenode.net with my questions. There tend to be lots of helpful folks there.
I've never had a problem with railsforum.com, but I tend to just google keywords for any questions I have. There is a lot of online Rails documentation, and this system tends to produce decent results.
Also, consider browsing the Rails api when you have issues. I've found that there's a lot more data there that I'm aware of, and many of my problems are solved before they even develop when I do this frequently.
