What you’ll learn in Ruby for Web Developers:
Introduction to Ruby and Rails: Get familiar with Ruby’s syntax, core features, and the Ruby on Rails framework. Learn the strengths of using Rails for web development and how it simplifies the process of building dynamic, data-driven web applications.
Setting Up Your Development Environment: Understand how to set up a Ruby on Rails development environment, including installing Ruby, Rails, and related dependencies. Learn how to use tools like Git and version control to manage your projects.
Rails Architecture and MVC Pattern: Dive into the heart of Rails with the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern. Learn how Rails organizes data, views, and controllers, and how this structure promotes clean, maintainable code.
Building Web Pages with Views and Templates: Learn how to create dynamic web pages using Rails views, embedded Ruby (ERB), and partials. Understand how to render data from your database in your views and create responsive user interfaces.
Handling User Input and Forms: Master handling user input in Rails. Learn how to build forms, validate user data, and manage input securely. Explore how to work with strong parameters and prevent common security vulnerabilities like SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS).
Routing and RESTful Architecture: Understand the power of Rails routing and how it supports RESTful architecture. Learn how to define routes, create resources, and structure your application’s endpoints to create clean, user-friendly URLs.
Working with Databases in Rails: Master Rails’ ActiveRecord, an ORM that allows you to interact with your database seamlessly. Learn how to define models, create associations, perform complex queries, and manage migrations to keep your database schema in sync with your app.
Building Authentication and Authorization: Learn how to implement user authentication and authorization in Rails. This section covers login systems, session management, encryption, and using gems like Devise to simplify user authentication.
Testing Your Web App: Understand the importance of testing and how to use Rails’ built-in testing framework to ensure your web applications are reliable and bug-free. Learn how to write unit tests, integration tests, and use RSpec for more comprehensive testing.
Deploying and Scaling Rails Applications: Learn how to deploy your Rails app to production with platforms like Heroku, AWS, or DigitalOcean.
