Extremely clear teaching, he takes you through building quite a smart Rails Blog.
I've completed the project running Rails 5.1 on Windows 10 in 2019. A big bonus is you are not relying on Rails magic ie. lots of gems and dependencies. You code everything the rails way but because we aren't using gems the project is very basic - but you will learn all the core knowledge.
Add to this 3 hours of ruby training and videos that don't go on for too long and you could complete this in a couple of days.
