Course Overview
Learn Ruby Programming and the Rails Web Development Platform Fast! Become a Coder, Web Developer, or Software Engineer
This is a bundle of two of my most popular courses, "Ruby On Rails: Stock Market App" and "Ruby Programming For Everyone".
The question I get asked most often is this..."Do I need to learn Ruby in order to use Ruby on Rails?"
The answer is...No! But you SHOULD learn Ruby if you really want to become a Rails master. This course is perfect because you'll learn both the Ruby programming language from beginner to advanced AND Ruby on Rails.
We'll start out learning Ruby and we'll start by setting up a free cloud development environment that has all the tools you need to start writing and running Ruby code.
Then, we'll dive into very basic computer science concepts. Things like:
- Printing to the Screen
- String Manipulation
- Variables
- Getting User Input
- Simple Math
- Comparison Operators
- Assignment Operators
After that, we'll move into more intermediate topics like:
- Conditional If/Else Statements
- Arrays
- While Loops
- Each Loops
- Hashes
- Fizzbuzz
Finally we'll finish up with more advanced topics like:
- Methods
- Classes
After that we'll move into Ruby on Rails and build a cool stock market app!
Our Stock Market app will let you look up stock quotes and financial information and save it to a database.
Users can create an account and sign up to your website, log in, add stocks, check stock prices and all kinds of other cool financial information.
We'll style the website using the popular Bootstrap CSS framework (I'll show you how to use it!)
We'll end by pushing our app to a professional web host (Heroku) which I'll show you how to use for free! We'll even talk about getting a domain name and all that fun stuff.
If you've ever wanted to learn Ruby on Rails and were put off about learning Ruby, then this is the course for you.
I'll see you on the inside!

A waste of time and money. The "Advanced" Ruby programming is a joke. The second part (rails) is all outdated. You better take any introductory course available for free out there.

This course is pretty good. However, it's quite outdated, which means hours of error-hunting and debugging. Overall, it's not quite what I expected, but I'd still recommend it to anyone who wants to learn Rails. I later realized that this is just two courses smashed together- if you already know Ruby, just take the Rails course.

John is a very relatable instructor. He teaches in a way that helps you understand. The foundations that he taught will help me to better understand other languages as well. Great job!
