#Don’t Repeat Yourself (DRY) in Ruby on Rails | |
#DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) is a principle of Software Development to reducing repetition of information or codes. We can #apply DRY quite broadly to database schema, test plan, system, even documentation. And in this post, we will take example of DRY #in Ruby on Rails development. | |
