The Complete Ruby on Rails Developer Course provides a thorough introduction to Web Applications Development using the wildly popular Ruby on Rails framework. With 40+ hours of engaging video lectures and text follow-up lectures with directions, references and code, this course is designed to:

- Take students with no prior programming or web application development experience to accomplished web application developers specializing in Ruby on Rails.

- Give students with prior experience in Ruby on Rails or web development a leg up in the industry by helping them learn the ins and outs of back-end development with Rails and building complex apps at will.

- Give professionals and students alike the avenue by which they can switch to Ruby on Rails as the back-end development framework of choice so they can build robust web apps in very quick time and bring their ideas to life.

Current web apps built in the course (6):

Sections 4 - 7: Alpha blog - CRUD functions, multiple resources, authentication system built from scratch, front-end using Bootstrap, one-to-many and many-to-many associations at DB layer, production deployment! Compatible with both Rails 4 and 5 (with repositories on each version). Built using Rails 6 (compatible with 4, 5, 6)

Section 8: MessageMe real-time messaging app featuring ActionCable, use of WebSocket protocol and Semantic-UI front-end. Built using Rails 5!

Section 9: Finance Tracker social media app - Learning to use Devise for authentication, generators, search forms, Ajax, JavaScript, search functionality, external API usage, secure credentials management, rapid prototyping. Built using Rails 6.

Section 10: Photo App - Production email confirmation functionality, extending devise basic functionality, payment using Stripe API, file storage with AWS S3 bucket.

Section 11: SaaS Project Management App - Multi-tenancy, extending devise and incorporating payment functionality with Stripe, multi-tiered teams, email invitations within teams, restrictions based on payment tiers and more!

Section 12: University App (bonus) - Introductory Rails app (optional as beginner app for the course) - beginner friendly, along the lines of Alpha blog, but uses MaterializeCSS front-end framework instead of Bootstrap and walks through how to customize features in it. Built using Rails 5.

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!

Very outdated, at least in the first few modules you will really need to work to get it working with latest rails. I think this course is built on rails 6, today rails 8 released. Empty promise from course creator, the discord they advertise is also dead

It's a very rich content, but it needs to be updated using rails 7 or higher version.

I wished there were more visuals which is what is what makes a video better than a book. Examples are the OOP/classes, boolean sections, and arrays he's lacking flowchart visuals and slides.

Also by typing everything he uses up time typing instead of slides or using the undoing recording method and is one of the slower instructors, thats not spent learning. The time adds up its the reason we end up using shortcuts for everything and barely touch the mouse

This is teaching by reciting/describing not teaching by demonstrating processes or concepts that are hard to explain with words alone.

We're have to imagine a mental picture, how it interacts with other parts, and what the final outcome will be. All on top of learning.

Ex. Definition: 'Pinna' - the external part of the ear in humans and other mammal

or just search up an image of it and instantly know exactly what it is.

Course is outdated now, the herokuapp in section 1:7 is no longer available. The course needs a big update to be worth anyone time anymore.
