Course Description

Build an API application that you can use EVERYWHERE and hook up ANYTHING into it!
Check out!
  • SUPER productive videos with a total focus on what is important!
  • CODE SNIPPETS for each coding lesson!
  • Comprehensive resources and articles!
  • Learn Test Driven Development like a PRO
  • Get familiar with best Practices for API development!

In this course, you'll know how to create professional API application in Ruby on Rails with TDD!

You probably heard about a popular trend to create web applications with a split API and frontend parts. Having a pure API application allows you to hook up ANY frontend you will ever wish.

Knowledge about creating pure API applications is necessary for modern microservice architectures for REALLY BIG projects!

-------------------------------------------------

What Will You Build?

All of my courses are 'learn-by-doing': I'll create a real-life application and you can follow each step to make similar one for yourself. In this course we'll build one complete API application, that can work as a link-log, similar to RubyFlow project. We'll do all this using Test Driven Development, the way the best developers in the world develop their applications every day.

This mega app will include the full set of features, including everything from authentication to managing comments. You'll learn how to create an app that allows multiple users to log in, publicize articles and list them as a newsfeed. It's my goal to ensure you understand each feature we build into this app so you can apply them to your own personal or professional projects in the future.

I can always help in case of any troubles so if you'll encounter some, just write through one of our communication channels.

----------------------------------------------------------------

I've built the course that I would have wanted to take when I was learning to build RESTful API for my applications. A course that explains the concepts and how they're implemented in the best order for you to learn and understand them.

I know your time is expensive, so I prepared really compressed videos, including only what's important!

Instructor Details

placeholder

My name is Sebastian, I'm a full-stack developer and a passionate teacher.
I started a career as a web developer in 2012 looking for booming technologies to get the most interesting job possible. I decided to run my own projects using Ruby on Rails and soon, after improving my skills in smaller projects, I got a job in Creatubbles.
This is a safe, first-ever children-friendly, social, online platform, where I was the youngest full-stack developer for over three years.
I gained valuable experience in distributed systems, microservice architecture and API.
Currently, apart from my part-time job for my best clients, I run the Driggl company on a daily basis creating new educational content and helping my existing students to grow and develop new skills.
Additionally, I am a piano player, a karate master and I love chocolate and good coffee.
My passion for teaching has been developing since childhood and now I'm making this dream real.
If you consider enrolling in my courses, I can promise that I'll do my best to deliver the most valuable content on the chosen topics.
Ive already worked on very successful start-ups so from a practical point of view I know what to do to become the best developer.
In all my courses, you'll acquire sound knowledge and I'll show you how to create applications in a modern way using the best coding practices available today.
Even though my courses are completed,

Rspecの初心者なので丁寧な説明があってよかった。

This looks like only TDD kind of development. What I was looking REST API development in details... and best practices around it.

Very good course for building RESTful API in a Rails Application. This is the best course so far in UDEMY for learning how to build a RESTful API in Rails. Covered TDD which is a demanding skill to have as a developer. Sebastian has strong knowledge and experience about the subject he is delivering. Highly recommended for rails developer.

Great Course! helped me get an interview! also helped me as a mentor through my process!

I recommend the Sebastian Wilgosz course that is applied in real world application.His instructions is very professional and able to give you proper overview, after that you can fly in the world of technology.

It is outstanding.I liked the content and explanation strategy.Really great.If anyone want to learn Rubby he should take this course to be novice to ninja expert.

The course was extremely helped me to enhance my rails skill.All the things that discuss in this course are applied to real world application and if you have any problem Sebastian Wilgosz will give you quick respond.

This tutorial make a clear concept of the ruby and rails application. But you have to work hard for reach to the next level. The instructions are very helpful to me that the instructor gives in the class.

Amazing Course! The course is little bit slow, So my recommend is to take a complete web developer course before start this course. This course is not for pure beginners.

Too much time spent writing rspec took away from focusing on the actual application. It became tedious to follow. I would also refrain from adding oauth for github as it would not make sense for the type of app created in the tutorial.
