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.

Time: 19h

I'm about a third of the way through the course and loving it. It's great to see how a seasoned professional works through creating an app. I'm following along creating a different app using rails 5.2. Plenty of practical knowledge and anytime I've had a question I got response that made sense from Jordan, the instructor.
