About This Course

A total beginners guide to building a Rails Application

When developing this course I wanted to really focus on the new developer. I have set things up so you can come into this course with no experience and once you complete the lessons you will be able to construct and deploy a Ruby on Rails application. The focus is on how to construct an application and not on "building a 'Time Machine' using Rails".

Some areas covered include: MVC, CRUD, Github, Heroku, Rails Console, Cloud 9, Rails Generators, Gems and other important topics.

Once you have completed this course you will have this skill to build out your very own application using a "step by step" approach or by using Rails generators.

Our first Model is our "User", we cover how this "Model" can be anything you desire.

We then look at styling your site using Gems and Bootstrap. I also show you resources on where to find cool Bootstrap layouts that you can simply drop into your application.

We then cover how to build association between a "User Model" and a "Article Model". This is an important step in any applications as it gives the ability to associate objects in your database.

Each Video comes with a text lecture and PDF which allows you to download the code that relates to each video.

We all need to walk before we run and so I hope you will join me on this walk into Ruby on Rails a Beginners Guide.

  • Have this skills to create a rails application and publish the app live on the web. Students learn the inner workings of rails and get introduced to gems, authentication, the rails console, rails generators, Git Hub and much more.

I have a lot of experience in media production. Back in the 90’s I worked as a Studio Manager and producer, I then became more involved with developing Interactive Media. I became a fan of rails back in 2012 and dove in head first. Over the years I have worked on some pretty cool projects. I am here to share...

Over, I really enjoyed the course and am thankful for the free instruction. It is of course quite a bit outdated now, and I spent a lot of time working through issues due to that, but still found it valuable.

The course is not up to date c9.io is no longer online for example which is challenging sometimes because you have to make it work by your own.

The explanation is good so far...

It seemed fine. It's obviously outdated, but I think it still has usage to learn RoR. A big issue to me was that there were a few too many typos, which I feel shouldn't exist, since they should have been fixed before uploading the course. They make the course seem less professional.

So it's really hard to follow along with the first parts of the course if you aren't using cloud9. And that fact has given me so many bugs,mainly with gems and bootstrap.
But overall this is a good tutorial,I learned new stuff :D

It's not only outdated, but jumps a ton of parts. Explains some basic things assuming you know other basics. If I paid for this I would be so disappointed.
