Hello, we’re thoughtbot.
We’re a small team in Boston that builds web and mobile applications for startups. We aim to create great user experiences powered by well-made software.
This is our playbook.
It’s filled with things we’ve learned based on experience and study. It’s intended for anyone who wants to build web and mobile applications, bring them to market, and make customers happy.

Why “playbook”?
We’re merely offering “plays” that have worked for us. We trust your judgment over ours to decide which tools and techniques might work for you, too.
Other things we’ve made
We run Trajectory, the app planning app.
We run workshops almost every week:
- The Web Design and Development Process
- Design for Developers
- Intro to Ruby on Rails
- Intermediate Ruby on Rails
- Test-Driven Rails
We wrote an eBook on Backbone.js on Rails.
We recorded a screencast on Vim for Rails Developers.
