ADVANCEDCOURSE

Ruby on Rails

New to back-end coding? Use Ruby on Rails to build custom web applications from scratch.

Taught by

Rik Lomas

Our flexible, 8-week online Rails course offers support from expert instructors, real-world projects (as if you were to work with a client) and all the techniques you need to take payments, upload files and create your own login system.

It's designed for people new to back-end coding and those who know a little code but want to develop confidence and understanding by building custom web applications from scratch.

What you’ll learn

Create fully-custom web applications using Ruby on Rails
Store and process your users' data and files in a database
Create your own content management systems
Make your own user login and sign up flows
Take customer payments and subscriptions using Stripe
Host your sites using GitHub and Heroku

Requirements

A computer with Mac OS X 10.9 or above, Windows XP or above, or a recent Linux version installed and a broadband internet connection. That’s it!

Target Audience

Anyone looking for the tools you need to create completely customized web applications from scratch and to work with other coders.

We would recommend a little bit of knowledge of HTML, CSS and Javascript before starting this course – it isn't needed but it would help make your sites even better if you want to customize the designs.

Most of our students work in the creative industries – designers, strategists and copywriters are the most common jobs – but you can work in any sector to join the course.
