Course Overview
Learn Ruby on Rails and Ruby Programming The Fast and Easy Way!
This is a bundle course of four of my popular Ruby on Rails and Ruby Programming courses all in one course. Aimed at the absolute beginner, in this course you'll learn the Ruby programming language and the Ruby on Rails Web Framework for building websites.
This course is broken up into four sections:
Ruby Programming
Ruby on Rails To-Do List App
Ruby on Rails Weather App
Ruby on Rails Stock Market App
We'll start out learning the Ruby programming language. You don't need any prior knowledge or special tools to learn Ruby, I'll walk you through everything you need to know. You'll learn:
Printing to the Screen
Variables
Numbers and Simple Math
Comparison Operators
Assignment Operators
After that, we'll move into more intermediate topics like:
Conditional If/Else Statements
While Loops
For Loops
Fizzbuzz
Finally we'll finish up with more advanced topics like:
Arrays
Objects
Functions
Classes
After that we'll learn the Ruby on Rails Web Framework by building out Three awesome Web Apps! I'll teach you how to install Ruby on Rails and set up all the tools you'll need, and then we'll dive right in and start building out apps!
The first app we'll build is a daily "To-Do" List App. It will allows you to create lists of things you want to do in a day (take out the trash, feed the dog, buy groceries, etc). You'll learn how to use a database in Rails, how to add things to the database, and how to remove them.
In the next App, we'll build a Weather App that checks air quality in your neighborhood. We'll learn how to connect to a third party API to grab weather data, and then do cool stuff with it.
In the last app, we'll build a full blown Stock Market Portfolio App. You can lookup stock market data on any company, save the data to your own personal portfolio, and all kinds of other cool things!
If you've every wanted to learn web development with the Ruby on Rails and Ruby stack, this is the course for you...

Honestly pretty disappointed. Outdated material, and it feels more like im just watching someone code than actually being taught. He just kind of does stuff without any explanation, even going as far as asking you to copy and paste things he doesn't even understand. Would not recommend to any level developer.

Course is very outdated. DO NOT BUY THIS. By the time you realize it, you will not be able to request a refund through Udemy. Instructor seemed decent when teaching basic Ruby, but he did an awful job of explaining anything related to Rails.

This course is very well-paced. The instructor begins building your skills slowly and without making you feel overwhelmed. This is my favorite type of course because it allows (almost expects) you to code along, so you get to practice what you are learning. The instructor is also very prompt to respond to questions (24 hours in my case). My only wish is that the course were updated, but honestly, it is a great way to get familiar with ruby on rails and understand MVC architecture.
