8 Beautiful Ruby on Rails Apps in 30 Days & TDD - Immersive (Udemy.com)

This is the best Ruby on Rails course online. Excellent tutor and up to date tutorials. Concepts are simplified and clearly explained. Tutor is very practical in his teaching method. And it is surprisingly free. My confidence level as a Rails Developer has increased greatly after taking this course. God bless you Yonathan Ayenew for this tutorial.

I love the practical, learn as you build approach used and focus on Ruby on Rails. It's a promising way to go through the development loop iteratively. When I was taking the course, I noticed that the link to resources (stylesheets) was broken. Would be nice if broken links were updated. Also, it's based on an older version of Rails but all apps easily port over to version 5.1.6 which is the current stable version. It's been a fun 8 apps in 8 days for me!

If you're at all familiar with Rails, I found this tutorial quite basic. All of the examples are very similar and much is repeated. I was looking for some videos on TDD - however none of the examples actually use TDD - there is just one TDD video at the end. This might be ok if you're new to Rails - he goes through all the code but not a ton of explanation or teaching as to how it works.

It is a great course if you want some repetition to sync in rails concepts. I recommend doing it to get a better idea on what different things can be built (easily) with rails. I think the target audience of this course is someone who knows django, laravel, or other frameworks and wants to see how rails is different (and amazing). If you are completely new to programing, maybe do another course first before this one. For the most part, all Apps you build are 80% the same as all the other ones, which is why I am not giving it a 5 star rating. It would have been great to learn something new with each lecture.

This course is very useful for those who want to become Rails developers. The first example is a bit fast-paced, but the second one is better explained and introduce thoroughly many concepts mentioned earlier. Each project you build helps to consolidate what was previously taught. He reinforces it with detailed explanation and teaches us to use essential gems.

I think the instructor is good. Very patient and has a nice delivery. I like the fact that each step is performed in every project (from rails new to changing the file names to .scss) It helps to use repetition. Also, I like that there are mistakes from time to time. Misspellings, etc. I also enjoy switching from .erb to .haml. Mixes it up.

Nice course, where the instructor shows you step by step how to build various Ruby web applications with CRUD features. Demonstration of 'devise' and 'simple_forms' gem is also very nice. Throughout the course, the instructor is using Ruby's convention of DRYing up the code. It would be nice if the instructor can add RSpec testing for one of the apps that he show-cases in the course :). Also, thanks for providing CSS files for each app. It makes it easy to focus on learning Ruby and not get bogged down with presentation specifics. Overall, a great value!

Great course with many, many examples throughout the 8 complete applications that are built! Definitely great for anyone new or new-ish to Ruby on Rails development. Highly recommended! Only drawback that I have would be with the production quality in some of the videos which CAN lead to confusion. All errors that I came across throughout the course were resolved. Great introduction to Ruby on Rails!

This is a solid beginner course and I'm really enjoying it but I've already taken an extensive bootcamp and understand more of what's going on behind the scenes without the sometimes necessary deep dive. Somebody with no programming experience can follow along click-by-click and create (or replicate) some awesome stuff, but deeper explanation is required to really understand what Ruby is doing and how to manipulate it further. Still, the repetition is good. Actually, it's great. And the consistent high-level repeating descriptions are great. Also, that you're not letting scaffolding do all the work is better for the novice. You should perhaps explain why scaffolding might not be the best way to become and advanced developer. Starting out exclusively scaffolding can spoil you, and may not get you the immediate nerd cred with hardcore Rubyists. Although scaffolding's faster, and gives you a ton of stuff, doing it your way will put the new developer that much further ahead with an understanding what's happening under the hood, especially at the action level. I wish I found this course BEFORE I paid what I paid to attend my local boot camp. I still would have done the boot camp, but I think I would have struggled a lot less. I think a more advanced accompanying course is needed for intermediate Devs. Something that shows how to manipulate the language more to create unique web app functionality. It would be great to take a unique idea and work it all of the way through. Or unique functionality on an existing app. Also, and not sure if this is in this series or not, working with Postgresql has got to be a part of the course, even on ones local machine. Still, this is a good course and as I said I am enjoying it. Onward...

Learning is about taking the unknown content and connecting it with something that you already know. But! As a zero coder. I needed to start from scratch. I explored many courses and they all explains a lot. By saying explain they tell you about how rails works. But you can't understand anything unless you can't make connections in your mind. So... What will happen if you have nothing to connect to in your mind about coding. This is the tough part! For my case rails can be learned by doing projects blindly like repeating words like parrots. In time, things will find its place. This course doesn't have the best explanations and teaching technic but it will make you get used to doing rails applications. Do all 8 applications then do it again! Do this over and over and things will be clear as day. Doing the same thing over will make you start thinking as a coder. Then you can dive deeper.
