Course Description

Hi and welcome to the Professional Rails Code Along Course, where I will walk through how to build a real world Ruby on Rails project that I was hired by a client to develop. My name is Jordan Hudgens, and I'll be your instructor for the course. I've built many different Ruby on Rails applications throughout the past few years for companies such as Eventbrite and Quip and one of my passions is helping individuals learn how to code.
After completing this course you will be able to build a production Rails project from scratch. But there are a million courses that will help you do that. What makes this course different is that you'll learn how to build a Rails application like a professional developer. I took a completely different approach to creating this course. I don't edit any mistakes and I filmed the entire set of videos in real time so you can watch my exact process when I am tasked with building a real world application. I made this decision so that you can get a transparent view into what it takes to become a pro developer, and also so you can see how I work through challenges, all in real time.

One of the most critical requirements for a professional Rails developer is a strong knowledge of testing. With that in mind, every feature that we build in the course will be created with the test driven development process. Some of the key features you'll learn how to implement are:
  • Using TDD and BDD with the RSpec and Capybara testing frameworks
  • Working with the Twilio API to send SMS messages
  • Integrating a permission structure for users
  • Implementing an administrator dashboard
  • Working with automated email components
  • Creating an approval workflow from scratch
  • Creating JavaScript Growl notifications
  • And much more!
This course is not for the faint of heart. The ideal student for this project is someone who has already taken a basic Rails course and wants to take their skill to the professional level.

Each lesson comes paired with the source code implemented at that stage so that you can follow along and compare your code with the codebase for the application. And beyond that you can also use the source code to extend it and build your own production applications.
Please feel free to review the course curriculum and I look forward to going through the material with you on your development journey!
Who this course is for:
  • This course covers professional development processes, a basic understanding of the Ruby on Rails framework is required to understand the material.

Awesome course. Great way to level up your skills in Rails.

By GK on 6/27/2020

It's my next course from Jordan. I like the way he conducts the process of learning. Very clear, very informative.

By Mario Oscar Villarroel on 6/12/2020

Great way to see a pro working and learn from him. really good if you have not worked with a pro coder before.

By Ninetyninejellies on 5/12/2020

Amazing course. I really like Jordans way of teaching. Learned quite a lot in this course. I'm not a beginner to rails but I have never done TDD/BDD for any applications I've been apart off. This course is about 4 years old and is still very relevant. I'd ensure maybe you have the basics of rails down if you are trying to tackle it using Rails 6 and updated Gems. The testing gems are essentially the same. I've added a full list of obstacles and some links to get over them in the first lecture comment section hoping it might help people move along a little faster. Best 3 weeks i've spent doing a course in a long time. Great work Jordan. Love your Rails courses.

Best cours to that pro level...

By Eddie Leeper on 4/5/2020

Enjoying the course. good pace. useful info. Likeable, friendly, approachable - thanks.

By Carol Kwong on 3/9/2020

The course is a bit long. Prefer a simplified version without the testing part (can actually test it out in the browser?)

By Rick Gladwin on 3/6/2020

Real world examples, right from the point of taking requirements from a client meeting and building out the app from there, is brilliant. Not many courses do this.

By Erlin Briceo on 1/27/2020

Soy rails developer y esperaba en este punto estar aburrido, pero ya la primera leccin me reafirm un par de cosas y me ense otro buen par de cosas, iniciamos bien

By Cameron Gose on 1/9/2020
