Ruby on Rails - introduced 15 years ago - continues to be the cool but stable framework of choice for startups since it allows for rapid development - while maintaining structure and security - as complex and disruptive business ideas are brought to life in record time.
This course takes a very structured approach of teaching Rails starting with Ruby - the programming language behind Rails. Everything from "Hello World" to Object Oriented Programming is covered. Students acquire skills rapidly; utilizing homework assignments, quizzes, coding exercises and free web based resources to go with the video lectures. The text lectures also provide reference material after each video, it's like having multiple books in addition to the videos to guide students through the course.
At first all the code is done from scratch limiting the use of shortcuts and generators so students can understand what's really going on under the hood of Rails applications and can design them the way they want. Then with solid knowledge and understanding already in place, rapid prototyping methods are introduced in later parts of the course, showing use of generators and scaffolding, finishing with a complete Software as a Service Application that can be used to launch a startup!
Some key features of this course are:- 250+ lectures and 40+ hours of video content- Ruby programming from scratch; writing your first program to say "Hello World" to Object Oriented Programming while building multiple mini-projects along the way- Local installation and development options made available for both Macs and Windows machines (that's right, Windows as well!)- Git for version control, Github as code repository, Heroku for production deployment- Working with Amazon Web Services S3 bucket for storage, Sendgrid for production email functionality, Multi-Tenancy using Milia- Custom credit card form creation and working with Stripe API to implement payment processing functionality- Rails MVC structure in-depth - Models, Views, Controllers- FREE live support- Design and conceptualization using wire-framing tools- Building authentication systems from scratch at first using the default Rails stack, including admin feature, log in/logout and signup. Then learning how to use Devise and extend the basic functionality provided by Devise to customize it and speed up authentication systems- Ajax, Jquery, plain JavaScript - all 3 used in different parts of the course!- Bootstrap, Semantic-UI and MaterializeCSS(using material design concepts) for UI styling- Fully automated test suites using Unit, Functional and Integration tests- Database associations: One-to-many, many-to-many, self-referential using ActiveRecord- much, much more!

Instructor Details

Rob Percival

Hi! I'm Rob. I have a degree in Mathematics from Cambridge University and you might call me a bit of coding geek.
After building websites for friends and family for fun, I soon learned that web development was a very lucrative career choice. I gave up my successful (and sometimes stressful) job as a teacher to work part time and today, couldn't be happier.
I'm passionate about teaching kids to code, so every summer I run Code School in the beautiful city of Cambridge. I also run the popular web hosting and design service, Eco Web Hosting which leaves me free to share my secrets with people like you.
You wouldn't believe the freedom that being a web developer offers. Sign up and find out for yourself why so many people are taking and recommending this course. I genuinely believe it's the best on the market and if you don't agree, I'll happily refund your money.
Sign up to my courses and join me in this amazing adventure today.

The course seems really good because he told me so in the introduction

By Eve Knnapas on 11/7/2020

well explained for absolute beginners

By Vijayalakshmi Vinothkumar on 11/7/2020

Was a good experience for me as the instructor was explaining in an easy way to understand. I really enjoyed the video. It was not too fast nor too slow. Useful for beginners like me. Thank you

By Yujin on 11/7/2020

So far so useful! I didn't know Ruby is such a charming lanugage.

By Yamilet Rodrguez on 11/7/2020

Muy entretenido y excelente instructor. Me gusta que al final de cada clase muestra una pantalla con el cdigo. El flujo es excelente

By Hagvan on 11/7/2020

Just hoping that Mashrur is still active and responsive at this course. Didn't see any replies to any Q&A for months. Overall a pretty good course which finally let me tip my toes into Ruby and Ruby on Rails. Treat it as a good introductory course, which it is.

By Senuch on 11/7/2020

Too much details missing, the author is focusing on stuff that should not be addressed like git(we can get a seperate course for it). Things like forms etc are skipped with no deep dive study. Disappointed!

By Cdz Ye on 10/27/2020

It's going well so far.

By Michael Lyons on 10/27/2020

Not up to date with the current version of Rails.

Best Ruby on rails course

By Hal Helms on 10/18/2020

I teach programming and know Ruby so I already know the material, but I think a real newbie would struggle with this because of the lack of context. For example, someone taking the course might be confused at this point: I thought Rails was a web framework not realizing the difference between Ruby and Ruby on Rails.

By Cecilia Bentez on 10/17/2020

This course is really useful, especially for beginners like me, who are new to rails. This course is helping me to achieve the goals of the Bootcamp I'm currently doing so thanks very much for the content, the instructor knows a lot about rails.
