Ruby on Rails 7

It's your fault, right?

Wrong!

Learning Rails should be filled with many wonderful "Aha!" moments. But there's a good chance other courses spoiled that by either (unintentionally, of course) treating you like a 6-headed superhuman or a half-brained dimwit.

If you really had 6 brains, you could juggle multiple concepts at the same time. And yet, in our 21 years of teaching, we've only run across such creatures in sci-fi movies. In reality, we all just have one brain. It can multi-task when it's in survival mode. But in learning mode, your brain benefits from deliberate focus.

A Rails course that shoves in non-Rails topics and claims to give you "more value for your money" is really saying "we're going to throw a bunch of stuff at you and hope like crazy some of it sticks."

You know what really ends up sticking? The idea that Rails is magical and mysterious. And now you're really stuck because you can't start or maintain a Rails app with any degree of confidence.

So other Rails courses take the opposite approach. They assume you're a dimwit who's content with shallow explanations, quizzes that give you a false sense of understanding, and a pocketful of points. Satisfying? Hardly!

All those points don't matter if getting your app from idea to deployment leaves you in despair over time and opportunity lost.

Your head is dizzy.

Your dreams are dashed.

And who could blame you?!

How much more rewarding (and fun!) would it be to pop open your code editor next week and...

• Build your own app from scratch, and be proud of the result
• Confidently jump into an existing Rails app
• Enjoy a smooth workflow for building apps faster, and better
• Laugh in the face of error messages (you know how to fix them!)
• Code, think, and truly "get" the Rails way

The same can be true for you!

Once you understand how all the pieces fit together, you can build whatever you want with Rails.

For 16 years we've been helping developers just like you move from confusion to confidence with Rails. One concept at a time. One clear explanation at a time. One "AHA!" moment at a time.

In our Rails course, we build a full-featured app from start to finish, step-by-step. For each new topic you:

• Watch a short live-coding video
• Visualize the concepts with rich animations
• Practice in a project-based exercise
• "Aha, now I get it!"
• Repeat for next concept...

You see every move, every change, every refactoring first hand. It's as if we're sitting down together building a Rails app. And we do our best to make it fun and friendly!
