Key benefits

Description

Dive into the world of web development with Ruby on Rails in this comprehensive course, perfect for beginners and those seeking to deepen their understanding of this powerful framework. The journey begins with an introduction to Ruby on Rails, exploring its purpose, the Ruby programming language, and the conventions that make Rails ideal for dynamic websites. You'll start by setting up your development environment on MacOS and Linux-based machines, equipping yourself with essential tools like Ruby, Rails, Ruby Gems, and SQLite. Next, you'll delve in the foundational concepts of web applications, focusing on the HTTP protocol and the Model View Controller (MVC) design pattern. Through practical examples, you'll learn to create a Rails application from scratch, understanding the View layer and how Rails components work together. The course then transitions to data models, using ActiveRecord ORM to persist data and understanding migrations to synchronize your data model and database. In the advanced sections, you'll cover RESTful routing, data validations, and model relationships. The course also introduces testing with MiniTest, highlighting the importance of automated tests for robust applications. Finally, you'll gain hands-on experience deploying your Rails application to Heroku, bringing your web projects live and accessible.

Who is this book for?

This course is perfect for aspiring web developers, beginners who are new to Ruby on Rails, and intermediate developers looking to solidify their understanding of Rails. Basic knowledge of web development concepts and programming is beneficial but not required.

What you will learn

  • Create and manage data models and migrations using ActiveRecord.
  • Implement RESTful routes and CRUD operations.
  • Add and manage static assets and images within Rails applications.
  • Integrate user authentication using Devise.
  • Write and run automated tests using MiniTest.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
