Course Description

Are you ready to start building professional web applications? Over a decade of programming experience has taught me that the best way to learn how to code is to acquire a comprehensive understanding of the basic principles and then learn from building real world projects, and that's exactly what this course does. Beginning with setting up your local development environment and ending with deploying your production application to the web, this course gives a detailed walk through on:

Creating applications
Using the Rails console
Generating scaffolds
Running advanced database queries
How to configure RESTful routes
Configuring views
Building out the full Model/View/Controller architecture
Working with multiple database options
Creating custom algorithms
Building a file uploader connected to a CDN
Working with Ruby gem libraries
Integrating authentication
And much more.

This course differs from others because it not only teaches you how to build an application, it focuses on giving developers an in depth understanding of the web framework itself so that you can take your new knowledge and build any type of application. With the course organized so that each video teaches a specific feature, you can use them in the future as a reference when you want to build out a specific functionality. The course was engineered to ensure you will be able to learn the material:

With over 6.5 hours of video lectures
Access to the project's source code
Quizzes at the end of each section
And I will be your personal code mentor, answering every question you have as you go through the course to ensure you can complete it successfully and that you have an extensive understanding of the material

After you complete the course and quizzes you will be given a Ruby on Rails Foundations certificate of completion and you will be on your way to becoming a professional Rails developer!Who this course is for:

Anyone interested in building web applications
Developers wanting to learn how to create Ruby on Rails apps

By Shumnan Suengjitsiriroj

Load time is painful and always lacks.

By Somwang Shepherd

Awesome! very detail.

By Zita Collins

I've never read u or seen Rails and find so far the groundwork of understanding how it works is great. Looking forward to learning more.

By Adrian Knoblauch

Good thematic structure.

By Patricia Hyland

Don't know enough to really rate the course. Instructor does do a nice job walking thru the install process for me, but I'm not sure a novice could follow.

By Bulat Aleev

it would good to show in practice how to update the db for example add new column into the existing one

By Yohanan Assefa

This is a great course for a beginner rails developer.

By Venetya Evans

Just like all of Jordan's courses I have taken so far, this one has good content and is easy to follow. I have experience with Rails, but since I am self-taught I have some gaps. This course is filling in some gaps for me.

By Third Eye Apps

Very clear basic concepts that are easy to apply to any applications that you build.

By Anonymized User

Good comprehensive walk through. I would have appreciated a little more theory / data model at the front end to help me interpret the rest of the material. A sort of 10,000 foot view to get started.
