I'm Making a Ruby on Rails Course

I'm beyond excited to share the news that I am making a Ruby on Rails course called Hello Rails!

The course has a dedicated landing page covering all of the details surrounding the course with many more to come. I wanted to publish a vlog/behind the scenes reasoning for the course and how it could benefit you if you're interested in learning the vast framework.

Some background

Ruby on Rails has been a big part of my professional life for over 2 two years now. I reached for the framework in an effort to build out an idea I had for a side project called Affinicasts. The application featured videos and courses around the Affinity-Serif platform. Sadly, I decided to go in a different direction and sunset Affinicasts as a result.

While Affinicasts took tons of effort, I learned so much about Ruby on Rails. In an effort to learn even more I started creating tutorials or "Let's Builds" as I like to call them on my YouTube channel. That got increased interest from people all over the world. My channel's subscriber count quickly grew as a result (and is still growing).

The tutorials on my YouTube channel covered both basic and advanced concepts a developer might run into when building their own apps.

As I authored more tutorials I noticed each lack the concept of building a complete app and shipping it to a production server step-by-step. My course Hello Rails is my answer to that void.

I would describe my own teaching style as rather thorough. I don't like to skip important steps of the process as I know someone new to the process wouldn't know some of the conventions or patterns I know. This is true even if it takes more time and effort.

As a result, I wanted to make the course about using Ruby on Rails to build a full-featured web application from scratch that we actually ship to a production server.

The course consists of a book version and a complete video version. I have already finished the book version and am in the beginning phases of the video recording process as I write this. I'm so excited to share it with you when it's complete.
