Course Description

So maybe you tried out Ruby on Rails, but found it too hard and feel that you need a more comprehensive introduction.

This course is going to teach you how to create web applications using Ruby on Rails. .
Why Ruby on Rails?

Ruby on Rails is a super fast and productive way to develop web applications. It simplifies common repetitive tasks that take a long time to create in other languages. The framework is mature because it has been built on solid foundations. It's much easier to get a high-end product completed in Ruby on Rails than in other languages.
Because it's mature there is a ton of open source projects/code you can use that are extremely powerful and really give you an advantage in build solid web applications.
Plus it uses the Ruby programming language. Ruby programming code reads like English and that makes it a lot easier to understand if you are just starting out as a programmer. As a dynamically typed language, Ruby does not have all of those hard rules other languages do, and in many respects is similar to spoken languages. This empowers you by giving you flexibility to solve problems in a more human way than other programming languages.
What is covered?
Some of the features covered in the course include...
Git Basics, Rails core "7 methods", and how they perform "CRUD", Rails Routing, Strong Parameters, Custom Callbacks, Custom Validation, Partials,

Why enrolling in this course is the best decision you can make.

very well done videos

I love how you show us how you code with the explantions to follow. I learn by watching then doing so this is perfect for me!

Some coworker had shown this to me with a project that I had been working on but with everything else going on I did not completely grasp the concept. This has filled in the holes with the branches that I did not fully understand.

Detailed and straight to the point.

The training told me what GIT was but not many commands were discussed. But it was nevertheless good beginning.

A lot, and I mean, a lot of great information. I came to this course bewildered, confused, mad, mortified and stupefied, because I couldn't find a decently priced course that provided quality material on Ruby on Rails. Now, I am happy and amazed and I can sleep at night because I know that I have a reliable course where I will get all the best information. I will now move on with my simple life and hopefully become a successful developer. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to learn RR.

Excellent instructor, explains everything in easy to understand terms, very easy to follow along with him

Being an experienced developer with 18 or so years experience, any time I do a course and during the setup I actually learn something the course deserves a high rating. Stephen is one of the best instructors I've seen on Udemy, to date. This is going to be a great course, I can already tell.

Good ,no rushing

The instructor is clear and precise. The only reason I gave this course three stars is I wanted one that develops from scratch instead of using scaffolding. Even the basic rails programmer will have to learn this and why not now also to add practicing DRY aka Don't repeat yourself. There are some instances where the code is repetitive. I've been a long time fan of Tim as well as Stephen too.
As I said if this was from scratch it would be well worth it's weight in gold learning. But when you resort to using scaffold you lose and I mean lose big time on the how and why.
Other wise this would easily be a 4.5+ course. Just my opinion take it or leave it.

Slow paced, Typing oriented lectures, but the explanation is clear and understandable. I hope the instructor publish Ruby on Rails for Intermediate and Ruby on Rails for Advanced Topic Series in near future :-)

The course started off well with very in depth explanations. Halfway through the course, it became a 'i do this, you just follow along' style without much or no explanation mostly. IMHO, to get through this course - it's not for beginners as the title suggests. You need to have some in depth understanding beforehand on Rails, Bootstrap, and on other subjects as well, like JS, and Ruby.
Support from course creator is slow - twice I asked. 1st time - 6 days for generic responses of simply advising me to refer to his codes to see for myself the differences that have caused myself the bugs. In the end, I went to online forums to get my issues resolved.
At the time of writing this review, I had completed the course around 60% before deciding to quit as I'm not a fan of just typing in code without knowing the logic and/or the syntax.
