Crash Course in Ruby on Rails
Ruby on Rails is an open-sourced web application framework using the popular programming language Ruby. Some of today’s fastest-moving companies — Twitter, Hulu, and Living Social among them — use Ruby on Rails to quickly create powerful websites.
In this four-hour class (with an hour-long break for lunch), you’ll learn how web applications work; how to use developer tools like integrated development environments and version control; and how to push a finished application to a cloud hosting solution.
A good understanding of HTML is necessary to get the most out of this class. If you don’t know the difference between an HTML <div> and an HTML <span>, this isn’t the class for you. A bit of programming knowledge in is helpful, but not required.
Students will need to bring a laptop capable of running a virtual machine (at least 2GB RAM and 10GB free hard disk space).
