Question

Can you give examples of books that teach large web app development?

it must not be focused on a programming language, but to be generical with the concepts and structure.

thanks :)

EDIT anyway the language used is ruby on rails 2.3.4

Answer 1

If you're looking for concepts and structures to learn from, you may be interested in looking for books about (web development) patterns.

Even thought it's old (2003) Martin Fowler’s “Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture” is still quite relevant.

Examples of patterns documented in the book that may be of interest are Data Transfer Object, Service Layer and the ubiquitous Model View Controller.
