This popular Rails class-series has been extended to 6 weeks to also include two classes on Ruby. Each 2-hour class session will take place on Tuesdays, on the dates of November 8, 15, 22 & 29, and December 6 & 13. So, if you are an experienced programmer who doesn't know Ruby or doesn't know Ruby well, feel free to sign up. A book will be provided and there will be homework assignments that include both reading and writing code to maximize your learning. So bring your own laptop!
Through test-driven and exploratory development, you will become familiar with ActiveRecord, including associations. You will gain an understanding of the SQL implicitly written through your Ruby code. You will learn about customizing views, view helpers, routes and controller actions and understand the log file. After taking this class there should be nothing magical about scaffold.
Note: We'll be using Rails 3 for class, but we will review the differences with Rails 2, so you will be able to work on an older project if needed.
As in all pariSoma classes, snacks and beverages will be provided!
