Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The last comprehensive book on extending Ruby on Rails from the inside was published over a decade ago. Since then, applications have grown from small startups to enormous monoliths, teams have scaled from three developers to fifty, and the codebase that was delightful at 20 models became te…rrifying at 200.Meanwhile, Ruby on Rails itself has been shipping the answer since version 3.1: mountable engines with namespace isolation. The same mechanism that powers Devise, Spree, and ActiveAdmin.This book bridges the gap between software architecture principles and the tools Ruby on Rails already ships. It takes the thinking of Robert C. Martin, Neal Ford, Mark Richards, and Kent Beck and applies it to real Ruby on Rails applications - with working code, honest trade-offs, and a companion open-source application you can run yourself.What you'll learn: Who this book is for: Senior Ruby on Rails developers, tech leads, and engineering managers who have felt the pain of a growing monolith. You should be comfortable building Ruby on Rails applications already - this is not a beginner tutorial. If your team debates microservices vs monolith, if your test suite takes too long, or if new developers take weeks to become productive in your codebase, this book is for you.What makes this book different: Every chapter includes working code. A companion open-source application (Orbit) lets you see the patterns in action - clone it, run it, and explore a fully modular Ruby on Rails application yourself. This is not theory in a vacuum. It is architecture applied to the framework you already use, by an engineer who builds and decomposes production Ruby on Rails monoliths for a living.About the author: David Silva is a Senior Software Engineer with over 15 years of Ruby experience across fintech, government services, and high-growth platforms serving millions of users. He has spent his career building, maintaining, and decomposing large Ruby on Rails monoliths - and applying the architectural patterns in this book to production systems under real constraints. He is the founder of CarerNotes and the author of Building Your Own Roguelike: A Practical Guide.Four parts. Eighteen chapters. From principles to practice to the hard questions most architecture books skip. A practical guide to modularising Ruby on Rails applications using Rails Engines, grounded in Clean Architecture principles. Covers namespace isolation, testing strategies, and real-world trade-offs for senior developers and tech leads. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Building Your Own Roguelike: A Practical Guide takes you on an authentic journey from your first playable prototype to a complete, functional roguelike game. This is not a theoretical guide or a simplified tutorial. It is the real story of building Vanilla Roguelike over five years, complete… with mistakes, breaking points, and architectural evolution.The Journey Begins with AlgorithmsThe book starts where the project began: with maze generation. You will implement multiple algorithms, including Binary Tree, Aldous-Broder, Recursive Backtracker, and Recursive Division, to understand graph theory, spanning trees, and procedural generation. Each algorithm teaches different principles: some create long corridors, others produce boxy mazes.The Architecture Problem: When Simple Stops WorkingEarly prototypes work fine when everything fits in one class. But as features multiply, the code becomes unmaintainable. This book takes you through the breaking point where the naive approach fails, helping you recognise the same problems in your own projects.You will learn why Entity-Component-System (ECS) architecture solves these problems. ECS is not just a game development pattern. It is a fundamental approach to building scalable software. The book breaks down ECS into digestible pieces: entities as identifiers, components as data containers, and systems as behaviour processors.Building Complete Game SystemsThe middle chapters guide you through implementing real game systems: input handling, movement with collision detection, turn-based combat, inventory management, monster AI, and event-driven architecture. Each system is built iteratively. You start with the simplest version that works, then add complexity as needed.Real-World Lessons from Real MistakesWhat sets this book apart is its honesty about the development process. You will learn about the breaking point where the original architecture could not support new features, the refactoring that saved the project, and the architectural decisions that enabled growth.Why Build from Scratch?Using a game engine teaches you the engine. Building from scratch teaches you the fundamentals. This book focuses on understanding how games work at their core: how algorithms generate content, how architecture enables features, and how systems communicate. The code examples use Ruby, but the concepts are language-agnostic.Who This Book Is ForIntermediate to advanced programmers who want to understand game development, algorithms, and architecture through hands-on practice. Computer science students will find practical applications for graph theory, data structures, and design patterns. Game developers will gain deep understanding of ECS architecture and procedural generation.Five parts. Twenty-two chapters. From your first prototype to a complete roguelike with procedural generation, combat, inventory, AI, and event-driven architecture. A hands-on guide to building roguelike games in Ruby from scratch. Covers procedural generation, Entity-Component-System architecture, event-driven design, and game development essentials for programmers ready to create their first roguelike.
