Course details

In Ruby on Rails 7 Essential Training, instructor Kevin Skoglund shows you how to create full-featured, object-oriented web applications with the latest version of the popular, open-source Ruby on Rails framework.

Using a content management system as an example project, he shows you how to structure databases; build database-driven, object-oriented models; route incoming requests; render pages with dynamic content; and process and validate form data.
