Course Description
Have you always wanted to have your own startup? Or maybe you want to work in one but have no idea where to start?
Do you have a great idea and know you can make it possible if only you could get some funding. But you need to show a working prototype to your potential investors?
Then this Ruby on Rails 5 course for building real world applications is for you. My name is Vishay Bhatia, and I'll be your instructor for the course.
I am a self taught rails developer. Just like you I too was a newbie not too long ago. So I know how confusing and intimidating the initial steps can be when you have decided to take on learning to code for yourself. That is why this course is laid out in the most simple way possible. I don't use complicated tech principles to get my point across.
What you will learn in this course:
- Intro to Ruby in about 15 minutes
- Trello clone - A project management app with a TO DO , DOING DONE list to track the progress of your tasks.
- Digital Bookstore- A 2-sided marketplace where you will learn step by step, how to build a web platform where people can exchange goods or services. Also learn to use stripe for payment processing and how to host images for your application using AWS.
We will learn on how to add styling to our app using the latest Bootstrap 4 framework.
Since the application we're building is a real world app I'll constantly be adding to the course material with new features.
What ever you can dream about building, you can do so with Rails and I will show you how.
By the end of this course you will know what is happening under the hood of any rails application.
My goal is to turn you from a coding newbie to a coding ninja.
So join this course and take your first step of building your ideas into reality.
Please feel free to review the course curriculum and I look forward to going through the material with you on your development journeyWho this course is for:
- Anyone who wants to be a web app developer
- Anyone who wants to bring their web app ideas to life
- Anyone who wants to start their own startup with their own apps

Vishay Bhatia
I am a business minded, self taught Ruby on Rails developer. I have always had awesome ideas for a tech startups but unfortunately when it came to building those ideas out I had to always rely on "freelance developers". These developers always messed up the projects and were very unreliable (both in time and price). After many such cases I took it upon myself to learn RoR. Now I want to help coding newbies become coding ninjas so that no one has to go through all the sorrows of hiring outside help. :)

Presentation isn't great and looking at the Q&A the course no longer looks supported... feeling dread.
The links to the environment where to run are not good.
First the setup goes into depth on a mac, but nothing about either Windows or Linux. Just a link to another setup up page.
Alas there is the option to use https://www.nitrous.io/ but this service was cancelled 2016.
EDIT:
Varning: the cloud9.io is the kind of site that need a credit card. Since this is probably ok to have in the US of A, I prefer to have my card limited to nordic countries. Our banks doesn't protect us in the same way as american banks. And I can“t get rid of the porn site feeling when they ask for credit card.
I would really have loved a new chapter how to set up Your own secure enviroment to get into the details... or at least a warning that this course doesn't help You with this.
(Vishay, I try to use Linux as much as possible.)
So far in the course the only problem I get is when installing the Ruby on Rails.
Instructor does not just read what he is typing. He actually explains why and what it does.
