Description
This course will first introduce you to Ruby on Rails as a programming language and its uses for developing web applications. You will learn its installation process and object orientation and be shown how to make a class. You will then learn how to reference the current object, class methods, and inheritance. The course will also teach you how to create a Ruby file and Ruby code on a demo.
You will then study the Ruby on Rails syntax and learn how loops and conditional branching work. You will also learn how to create methods, along with the correct syntax for writing these procedures in Ruby on Rails. You will study the MVC architecture, which will help you organize code for the creation of robust web applications, and learn how it separates the application into three main logical components which are the model, the view, and the controller.

If you already have a basic understanding of web application development and have completed Alison's courses on Web Page Design Using HTML5 and CSS3, and Knowledge of Programming Concepts with Python, now is the perfect time to take this course and learn how Ruby on Rails can be useful for you!
