At CleverLabs, we pride ourselves on our extensive experience and expertise in Ruby on Rails development. Our team, composed of seasoned developers, continuously seeks opportunities to refine our skills and stay at the forefront of industry practices. Recently, we had the privilege of participating in Sandi Metz’s "Practical Object-Oriented Design" course, a week-long deep dive into advanced OOP principles, drawing heavily from her acclaimed book, "99 Bottles of OOP."

A Course Beyond the Basics

Given our team's strong foundation in object-oriented design, we initially wondered how much new material this course could offer. However, we were quickly impressed by how it challenged our preconceptions and deepened our understanding of design principles. Sandi’s course didn’t just reiterate familiar concepts—it recontextualized them, offering a fresh perspective on how to apply these principles in more complex, real-world scenarios.
