Why take this course?
Are you ready to start building professional web applications? Over a decade of programming experience has taught me that the best way to learn how to code is to acquire a comprehensive understanding of the basic principles and then learn from building real world projects, and that's exactly what this course does. Beginning with setting up your local development environment and ending with deploying your production application to the web, this course gives a detailed walk through on:
- Creating applications
- Using the Rails console
- Generating scaffolds
- Running advanced database queries
- How to configure RESTful routes
- Configuring views
- Building out the full Model/View/Controller architecture
- Working with multiple database options
- Creating custom algorithms
- Building a file uploader connected to a CDN
- Working with Ruby gem libraries
- Integrating authentication
- And much more.
This course differs from others because it not only teaches you how to build an application, it focuses on giving developers an in depth understanding of the web framework itself so that you can take your new knowledge and build any type of application. With the course organized so that each video teaches a specific feature, you can use them in the future as a reference when you want to build out a specific functionality. The course was engineered to ensure you will be able to learn the material:
- With over 6.5 hours of video lectures
- Access to the project's source code
- Quizzes at the end of each section
- And I will be your personal code mentor, answering every question you have as you go through the course to ensure you can complete it successfully and that you have an extensive understanding of the material
After you complete the course and quizzes you will be given a Ruby on Rails Foundations certificate of completion and you will be on your way to becoming a professional Rails developer!

This is a great course, it's short but precise and well structured throughout. It's more practical than theoretical.

Too old and not a thing updated since 2015.. The concepts are good but not complete, for example, every user has the same projects and total control, no admin and singular projects. He wasted a lot of time explaining less important subjects rather than some important features.

The course needs to be updated. Installation instructions are not useful. I had to find ways to install on mac m1. nitrous.io mentioned in the course does not exist too

This course provides good overview of basic ruby on rails. I managed to revise key concepts in relatively short periods of time.

All the tools are old and most are not active, there is no way to follow this training. Complete waste of money.

Yes it is a good match. The instructor is very good & thorough without being too slow. Had to brush up keyword arguments in Ruby.

it would be nice if this course was updated to Rails 7, but still it is great how the instructor explains concepts. I did not know much about rails coming in, so changing the flow of things to work on rails 7 has been a challenge. At the end, I guess it makes me to really understand the concepts.

Great, but outdated, had some issues and found myself looking for answers on google every now and then

The mac os version mentioned in the video to install ruby does not match with the current version of mac. Lot of people have commented for a solution but no response is given and its blocking further progress.

I've got years of app development experience, was asked to take over an existing Rails app. This helped w understanding some of the Ruby sytax and paradigms.

Great course for a RoR beginner with experience in other languages/frameworks. Course content is 6yrs old and could perhaps use a refresh, but all the fundamentals are covered.

Since I am already familiar with several other web frameworks this course covers what I need to get up and running quick;y with rails

Font size is small in many cases, the text sometimes goes to the edge of the screen which gets mix up with video controls in some cases. Mic volume is pretty low compare to the loud intro sound. Loud intro is annoying! Pace is a bit slow.
The contents are fine and the explanations are simple, but I think the longer videos could be shorter.

I have to add a caveat to my review...I'm not a complete newbie to Rails. I attended an in person bootcamp about a year ago but I've been away from it for about a year. So I signed up for this course primarily to refresh my knowledge of Rails.
With that in mind I thought the course was quite good. Jordan is clearly very knowledgeable about the topic. He covers a lot of ground in the course. I like the fact that he takes you all the way from the beginning through deployment on Heroku.
If I had been a complete newbie to Web Development and Rails I think it would be nice to have some high level diagrams and discussion of the Web Architecture and the Role that MVC frameworks plays in that architecture. This would provide some context for the discussions that would follow. This diagram of Rails (MVC framework) could have been used throught the course to re-orient/ remind students of the role of each component (Model, View, Controller) as these components were being introduced in more detail later in the course.
But overall a good course from my perspective.
