Ruby On Rails Web Development: To-Do List App (Udemy.com)

Great teacher, simple and to the point.

El instructor es muy poco profesional

all his steps are clear

Having been a fan of John Elder and his teaching for some time it is always a pleasure to learn from him. If you're looking for to learn Ruby on Rails brushing up with this Ruby on Rails To-Do List will help you become familiar with some of the tools that modern Rails programmers use. Thank you.

I look for John Elder's courses. I love his teaching style. His explanations are thorough yet concise. Teaching pace is really good for me. I am learning a great deal from his courses!

Very clear & well paced

Recommended!

nice course, mentioned the basis of RoR and how to apply it to an app

very clear with his language, but this is not a ruby focussed course, he uses a ruby scaffold and then he spends most of his time changing the design.

Exactly what I was looking for to very quickly get the basics of Rails. A teeny bit of previous knowledge is nice (particularly of Ruby itself), but not strictly necessary. Makes it easy to get up and running and understand the basics. Succinctly explains each step; fast-paced but not hard to keep track of.

Not quite five stars just because I do wish there was a *little* more explanation on how Rails actually works in some spots though. Also, there's a little bad-practice HTML in the course, but that's a minor quibble.

The 1st RoR course I managed to finish. Just wish the pace could be slower, especially when it comes to copying and pasting code from 1 place to another (more technical stuffs that is). Thanks, John for the tutorial.

p.s. for total beginners - do pick up on Bootstrap and some CSS before you begin - otherwise, you be lost. I guarantee cha' :)

It refreshed my knowledge of things I have been not fully sure of.

John is a great instructor he's been doing it for years and it shows. He hasn't forgotten the fun of doing something cool with code and this enthusiasm really rubs off on you.

This course is insanely practical. It helps if you are running mac or linux as it's a real pain to set up Rails on Windows. Tip: you can dual boot your windows with ubuntu (look on youtube). Or use the old c9 which John walks you through.

As the course runs on cloud 9, it's Rails 4.2. I can do the course running Rails 5.2 and Bootstrap 4.2 with some minor googling.

All questions (Q & A) have been answered by John so it's definitely active.

The biggest plus for me is the video length mostly of 3 - 7 minutes which is the sweet spot. John is well aware of not boring us/tiring us out by going on coding marathons of 10 -25 minutes - who's got time for that?

Another great takeaway is developing little features saving then testing in the browser - it sounds simple but it stops you making a really big mistake that will lose you hours debugging.
