Ruby on Rails in 30 Days: Build Your First Web App

Overview

Hey! This is the first full course to teach Rails 4 and Bootstrap 3!

Hi there, I'm Tal. I'm a freelance web developer in NYC. This class will teach you how to build a Ruby on Rails application and publish it on the web.

Rails is an insanely popular way to build web applications but getting started can be a bit daunting. This class is designed for absolute beginners with minimal to no experience coding.

We'll take a project-based approach, meaning we'll spend the class building a functioning, usable app from start to finish.

By the end of the course, you'll build and publish a mini version of Tumblr from stratch:

Create a Tumblr-like blog
Post text content
Add photos (you know, like this)
"Heart" posts
… and more

By enrolling in this class you'll get lifetime access to:

A clear step-by-step project guide
Hours of professionally recorded video lessons
A student gallery to post your work for feedback from classmates
And additional downloadable resources

Concepts we'll cover will include:

Installation. Getting Rails installed headache-free.
Model, View, Controller. The way Rails apps are organized.
Reading and writing to the database. Using ActiveRecord, Rails' build-in database framework.
Git. Keeping track of changes in your code.
Deploying. Putting your app online with Heroku.
Rails 4. This brand spanking-new version of Rails has many improvements and is even more beginner-friendly.
Twitter Bootstrap 3. Hot off the press! We're using the just-released version of this amazing front-end library.
...and more.
