Ruby on Rails is a well established and popular framework for building web applications. This course takes a highly practical, projects-based approach to improving your Ruby on Rails skillset. Starting with a basic knowledge of Rails, you will build increasingly complex real-world projects created to train and expand your knowledge and provide you with important skills to take your web development career forward. The course has been taught primarily in Linux. We have included tutorials to help you get started in Windows but we suggest you use some flavour of Linux for this course. You can use a virtual OS if required. This course also assumes you know SQL, as we have used it in all of the examples. The following projects will not only help you understand the core concepts of Ruby on Rails (ROR), but will also teach you important development best practices.

The Projects are: -

Book Store - The first project is a simple book stock application. Blogging System - Learn to make a complete blog management system like WordPress in Ruby on Rails.

Image Gallery - Create an image gallery for image storage and retrieval.

Shopping Cart - You will learn the basic shopping cart development process and you can extend the code to build your own online stores.

Content Management System - This is the most complex of the projects tackled in the course. This project is a robust content management tool similar to many commercial applications. It will refresh all the techniques and processes learnt in this course.

If you successfully build and improve on the projects covered in this course you will be able to undertake and complete any project in ROR. So come aboard and learn to be a Rails ninja.

Style and Approach

This course adopts a unique, learn-as-you-do approach as the reader builds on his understanding of Ruby on Rails progressively with each project. This course is designed in such a way that implementing each project will empower you with a unique skillset, and enable you to implement the next project more confidently.
