You'll be amazed how quick and easy it is to create very professional looking websites, even if you have no programming or web design experience at all.

You don't need any special knowledge or software to take this course, though any experience with HTML or CSS is a plus. You don't even need to know the Ruby programming language. I'll walk you through EVERYTHING.
Ruby on Rails is a great web development tool and learning it has never been this easy.
What We'll Build...
We'll build a cool Crypto Currency Portfolio app that let's you look up crypto quotes and price information and save it to a database.
Users can create an account and sign up to your website, log in, add crypto currencies and coins, check current prices and all kinds of other cool things.
We'll style the website using the popular Bootstrap CSS framework (I'll show you how to use it!)
If you're into crypto-currencies like bitcoin, ripple, ethereum, ada, xlm, or any others; this course will be a LOT of fun. But even if you aren't into crypto stuff, this course will still be a lot of fun and you'll learn a lot of core Ruby on Rails things.

simple, precise and clear. Get to the point with short videos. A good way to get things done.

By Daragh Mulvey

All of John Elder's material is fantastically well done - stays on point and does not have you jumping to / from different videos to see how a particular thing is done.
Excellent stuff.

I found this course extremely enjoyable, the course covers a lot of fundamental knowledge without being extremely long. Awesome!

By Anna Proios

Quality class, I had some questions and they were all responded to very promptly. The instructor (John Elder) is very engaging and responsive, so you will learn a lot out of this simple and easy to follow course in getting a Ruby app up and running with style. I would highly recommend for those new to programming with some very basic knowledge of coding concepts who want to get an app running quickly.
