I [ed: drnic] think it took me months and months to figure out Rails + Ruby a few years ago when I first picked up Rails. I think I learned it/worked at it most nights after work (and probably surreptitiously during a few work days as well).
Lately I’ve received a few emails asking about Rails training courses.
So I’ve organised a “Getting Started with Rails” weekend workshop coming up on the 19th+20th of April, to help anyone else who’s poked around the edges of Rails and now wants to get cracking with it.
The workshop will cover:
- start a new Rails application in 5 minutes
- read and write to a database without using any SQL statements or advanced knowledge
- use the Model-View-Controller method of application design
- create dynamic HTML using the data from the database
- generate models and controllers so you don’t have to type as much yourself
- work with “convention over configuration” – Rails makes a lot of decisions for you!
- write tests for your applications so you know instantly if something has gone wrong
The full price is $795, but the early bird price is only $595 (before end of March; use early as coupon code when booking). Today is 26th of March, so less than a week of early bird prices to go.
For more details and booking see the event page
