It's Hard to Learn Web Development

Ruby on Rails is a powerful and popular framework for developing websites, so many people starting web development want to learn it. However, Ruby on Rails is complex and it's not easy to just jump right into it. Many beginners start learning Rails with a book or video course, but it's hard to go through an entire book on your own, and videos are too passive and hard to reference afterwards. Even if you get through all the content, you won't have the practice necessary to really understand the material. When you're starting out, you need something more exciting and engaging...

Learneroo's Interactive Course

I started creating an interactive course for people to learn web development with Ruby on Rails. The Course will offer the following:

  • Learn by Doing - Don't just read a tutorial or copy code, but solve challenges as you go through the tutorial and see your results immediately. Get started with our online coding challenges, and continue with our downloadable challenges.
  • Visual Content - Helpful cartoons and diagrams to make concepts clear! Receive useful clickable cheat sheets to find the information you need quickly.
  • Choose what you learn - Each section can be learned on its own so you can jump into any part you want and reference anything easily later.
  • Practical understanding - Get a good understanding of the principles of web development that can be applied to any framework. Get the tips and resources you need to code in the real world!

Who This Course is For

This course is for you if you're interested in creating a web application for any of these reasons:

  • To get started on a web development career
  • To create a website for your organization
  • To work better with professional web developers
  • For general enlightenment!

While this course is intended for beginners, even people with Ruby on Rails experience may find this course and reference to be a useful review!

What The Course Will Cover

This course will teach what you need to know to be a Minimum Viable Developer. It will cover the topics that are essential to building your first application, and skip more advanced topics that can be learned later. You'll be able to jump into the sections you're interested in, and create your own project in each part.

  • Intro to Web Development - Learn about creating web pages, writing HTML and programming Ruby!
  • Ruby on Rails Basics - Get an overview of Rails and then explore the different parts (Model View Controller) in more detail. Start creating your first application.
  • Readying Rails - Learn more about relationships between data, authentication, forms and building a Complete Application!
