What does it take to become a full stack web developer? Well, you need to know: server side coding, database design, HTML, CSS, algorithm development, file manipulation, routing, API integration, and the list goes on and on. Trying to learn each of these topics individually can feel overwhelming and finding out how they are all connected cause most developers to quit before they even start.
It's for these reasons why I wanted to create a unique course that will walk you step by step through every skill you will need to become a full stack web developer, and I do it by showing you how to build an actual production application. Starting completely from scratch I explain how to setup your environment, create the application, build in advanced features and finally deploy to the web!
Some of the key skills you will learn in the course are:
  • Rails scaffold generators
  • How to use git repositories
  • Building custom file uploaders and downloaders
  • Database modeling and query generation
  • Creating and handling form data for input into the database
  • Setting up secure user logins
  • Building a search engine for the app
  • HTML and CSS customization
  • How to use the Rails console
  • How to deploy the application to a live website
  • How the Model - View - Controller (MVC) framework works in action
  • Object oriented programming (OOP)
  • And much more!
Each video in the course has a link where you can access the code that was created for that specific stage in the course, making it easy to follow along. After completing the course you will earn a certificate of completion for Comprehensive Ruby on Rails development and you will be ready to start building your own applications. Who this course is for:

The title says it all.

nitrous.io no longer exists

Nitro.io no longer operating.

Instructor's delivery is clear and engaging.

Excellent Detailed but easy explanation of how Rails works !!! Awesome!

This is a great course. Perhaps not for beginners but very good. Jordan is an excellent teacher and replies promptly to any queries, even at holiday time. Its also refreshing to see the course focus on building a business app instead of a standard "build a blog course". Overall I found it excellent.
Thanks

Muy buenas clases y mucha practica

This course gives a clear, practical approach for teaching Ruby on Rails to individuals of all skill levels. Rather than teaching the lengthy and somewhat tedious theory behind the language and frameworks, the course gives a very straightforward explanation on how to build your first web application using Ruby on Rails. The course does a great job of not only explaining how best to develop various components of a web application, but also goes into detail on a number of various services that can be used to improve your efficiency as a developer (Git, Heroku, Nitrous, etc.). I highly recommend this course to all individuals interested in learning Ruby on Rails that would rather learn by building a useful, detailed web application instead of sitting through monotonous lectures covering unimportant details.

So I'm halfway through it and I can say it's one of the best tutorials I've used thus far. I've noticed while trying to learn ruby and rails that there are people who just get it. He's thorough, he explains the errors (in video) and makes it apart of the process of learning. Most tutorials often gloss over the errors and issues to keep videos going. Easy to understand, great diction, and great at keeping things concise.
The cons:
No TDD: This isn't really a con for me but it may be for other people. IMHO, I feel I want to understand Rails and then move to TDD when I'm stable with rails. I find myself w/ tutorials trying to teach TDD along w/ Rails spend most of time on TDD, leaving out all the things you need to know about rails...
Final: He really gets into the meat and potato's of learning Ruby On Rails.
Recommendation:
No matter the price. Buy this tutorial. I've purchased 3 other Rails Tutorials on Udemy, I've gone through Michael Hartl's tutorial and in 4 short days with this tutorial, I have a much better grasp and confidence level about my abilities with Rails. Now onto the other 50% of the course. I will likely update it, but it's worth mentioning I love this course.

So true Jordan, I've just finished a PHP7 training program and to create this much functionality so fast is amazing.

Excellent court qui enseigne les bases.

Excellent, hands on introduction to rails
