How To Build Instagram Clone Using Ruby on Rails 7

The Good things first: mostly the code presented in this course actual works at the time of writing this review and every functionality is fully funcitoning at the end. However there are a few major problems. The volume of the videos varies greatly, as does the microphone quality, but the microphone quality is always really, REALLY bad. The author of the course is extremely unenthusiastic about the whole thing and rushes through the course a lot without explaining any concepts behind the code that is used.. For beginners this course is probably completely wrong. Also, english is clearly not the first language of the author, which is not a problem in itself - but the pronounciation and lack of clarity of words sometimes makes the content hard to follow, coupled with the bad microphone quality. If the Author does not at least get a significantly better microphone, I would actually suggest to just use text to speech for future courses, if any are planned. It will be a much better experience for most people, considering text to speech has gotten quite good nowadays. That being said, I learned exactly what the course promised - I now know how to create an instagram clone in Rails. Sadly, due to the lack of explanations and the rushed nature of the course, it will be very hard to transfer this knowledge to other projects.

Wow, because i learned a lot. Make more full course apps like this . Thanks!

Ok. I will try to be complete here. This was my first encounter with Ruby on Rails and .. in fact, Ruby. So, with that in mind - I was happy with the end result. I, now, have fundamental knowledge of the Rails structure and how it works. Thus, I would like to say more about the course. First, the instructor is very knowledgeable.. to the point he is most likely a master as Rails design. He also knows Bootstrap and HTML like the back of his hand -- so, this is kind of a free bonus in the course. That said, he moves fast and does not dwell too much on why he is doing something .. which leaves a newbie like me having to read up / research between classes. Also, the instructor DOES NOT upload code after each lesson. There is a GitHub repository available and you (the learner) will have to navigate commit save points if you want the specific end code for a specific lesson. (not very easy in my opinion). So, most likely you will watch what is typed, pause.. type it out on you system, the watch more (repeat). For those reasons I withheld a half star. Lastly, be prepared to put up with cars noise, car horns, and volume variations between the courses. **All minor stuff**. Last thoughts -- I am left needing a little bit more instruction before going off solo in the rails world. Again, I think I understand structure but will enroll in a follow on Ruby course before attempting my own website. So, take my comments for what they are (my own experience). Hope this helps and thanks all those who worked hard and put this together. I,for one, appreciate the effort and time!

the best i have seen, he really taught me a lot. however, i would have loved for him to complete the messaging system. If so, i would pay for that couse any day.
