Ruby on Rails powers some of the most popular web 2.0 internet sites in the world. A phenomenal open source web application framework, Rails speeds development of database backed web applications through the Model-View- Controller design pattern and its convention over configuration philosophy. It has changed the way we develop web applications since its release in 2004.
This workshop features hands-on instruction in Ruby on Rails by professional Rails developers. Over the course of three days we’ll discuss and practice all aspects of core Rails development—from Ruby basics, to RESTful web services, to clustered deployment using Capistrano. Through active in-class exercises, participants pick up best practices and proper coding habits (yep, unit tests!). With these new skills and the power and agility of Ruby on Rails, developers can immediately get started creating new, cutting edge web applications faster than ever.
This workshop is aimed at web application developers with some or no prior Ruby or Ruby on Rails experience. Attendees should be proficient in some object oriented programming language (Java, C++, C#, Perl, Python, PHP, Ruby or similar), basic web technologies (HTML, CSS, Javascript), and relational databases.
Attendees will receive a copy of The Rails Way by Obie Fernandez. Course handouts/slides will also be provided.
Our 2008 Hong Kong Web 2.0 training program is being conducted in partnership with the Hong Kong Productivity Council and Hong Kong Open Source Software Center.
