What you’ll learn in Ruby on Rails for Web Developers:
Introduction to Ruby on Rails: Get acquainted with the fundamentals of Ruby on Rails, including its MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture, routing, controllers, and views. Learn how Rails simplifies development and how its philosophy empowers developers to focus on building features rather than reinventing the wheel.
Setting Up Your Development Environment: Learn how to set up a Ruby on Rails development environment from scratch. This section walks you through installing Ruby, Rails, and dependencies, and setting up your database for local development.
Building Your First Rails Application: Start by building a simple Rails application, covering the key concepts of routing, models, and controllers. Learn how to create dynamic web pages, manage user input, and display data from a database.
Working with Databases: Dive deep into ActiveRecord, Rails’ ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) tool. Learn how to design and manage your database schema, perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations, and query data effectively using ActiveRecord.
Building RESTful APIs: Explore how to build RESTful APIs with Rails, allowing you to create backends that can interact with frontend frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue.js. Learn how to handle JSON data, manage authentication, and structure your API endpoints.
Testing and Debugging: Discover the importance of testing in Rails development and learn how to write unit tests, functional tests, and integration tests using RSpec and Rails built-in testing tools. Understand the testing workflow to ensure your application is reliable and error-free.
Advanced Rails Features: Level up your Rails skills by exploring more advanced topics like background jobs, caching, file uploads, and handling payments with third-party services like Stripe. Learn about advanced query techniques, performance optimization, and how to integrate external APIs.
Security Best Practices: Learn how to secure your Rails application by implementing measures like password hashing, protecting against SQL injection, handling Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), and following Rails security guidelines to keep your web applications safe.
Maintaining and Optimizing Rails Apps: Learn best practices for maintaining and optimizing Rails applications, including techniques for debugging, monitoring, and refactoring your code.
