So I heard Ruby on Rails is a hot topic, and would like to learn both Ruby
and Ruby on Rails. I have looked into some online courses like
http://www.codeplace.com which teaches you to create 4 real world
applications. Also am looking at 2 courses on udemy in perticular
https://www.udemy.com/the-complete-ruby-on-rails-developer-course/ and
https://www.udemy.com/professional-rails-5-development-course/ . The
codeplace one is normally $397/yr, but there is a sale on stacksocial that
allows you to get a lifetime subscription for $49. The udemy courses are
normally $194.90, but there is also a sale going on that allows you to but
them for $9.99 each. Has anyone taken any of these courses and if so what
is your opnion on them? Do you have any better recommendions for learning
Ruby and Ruby on Rails? For the record i am a visual learner. [image:

Sincerely,

I am unfamiliar with the courses you mentioned, but the courses offered on
those sites are almost perpetually on sale. I agree with Brunos suggestion
to utilize RubyMonk and would consider Codecademy for an introduction to
Ruby as well: https://www.codecademy.com/catalog/language/ruby.

If you enjoy more learning from a video course I can personally recommend
one of your options
https://www.udemy.com/the-complete-ruby-on-rails-developer-course/, but the
other one seems good as well.
My suggestion is to play the preview videos on both courses and see which
one you like best.

If you like to hack at new things right away then https://rubymonk.com and
https://www.codecademy.com/catalog/language/ruby is great (like Bruno and
Jason suggested).

http://exercism.io/languages/ruby/about is also a great choice if you like
to solve problems to learn how a language works.

Anything should be fine if you persevere, and if you are stuck with
anything feel free to email us here and we can help you.

Good luck with the learning

Thank you Mugurel for all the good links there.

I'm in the same situation as Aleeious but already got some basics of ruby
in. I have finished Learn Ruby The Hard Way and looking for something
similar to rubymonk but mainly for rails? I know that it's written in ruby
but there are fair amount of things what are rails specifics. How to write
good tests? What do I need to generate and when?

Do you know if there is any good tutorial about this?

If you want to master ruby, you should definitely checkout David Black's
book https://amzn.to/2A5sCRB

And of course, follow my series "mastering data structures in ruby" ;)

I'll answer in this email thread since it might help Aleeious as well, and
hopefully might help others that are interested.

There is https://www.railstutorial.org/book (which is free and good
quality).

If you don't mind buying books I can recommend these:

*Rails 4 in action - Manning*

This one is for Rails 4 but I enjoyed it very much and most of the details
should still be relevant, and sometimes you'll have to deal with older
versions of Rails anyway.
It also touches a bit on how to test Rails.

*Agile Web Development with Rails 5.1 - The pragmatic programmers*

Thesting is a bit more difficult but these books helped a lot:

*Rails 5 Test Prescriptions - The pragmatic programmers*

and maybe *Effective Testing with RSpec 3*

You can get most out of these books if you write the code and run it
yourself as you read the books.

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Yes, thank you for all the links. I actually specifically want to get into
rails development but understand i need to learn ruby first. I eventually
want to create a text based browser game using ruby and rails. Something
simple at first. From basic observations rubies generators and scaffolding
tools looks like it will make my project dev easier.

Hi Aleeiuos,

Specifically for getting some decent introductory hands-on experience with
Rails, I recommend going through the Hartl tutorial:
https://www.railstutorial.org/book.

Additionally, though they are somewhat out dated now, I would also
recommend Mackenzie Child's 12-in-12 challenge where he walks you through
building 12 small Rails apps in 12 weeks: https://youtu.be/7-1HCWbu7iU. I
think he's on Rails 3 or 4, but most of the content should still be valid.

Sincerely,

Bryan Finlayson, M.A., M.B.A., Lead Developer

Aleeious,

Codeplace was great, and worth the price. I recommend. I also recommend Go Rails.

If you want to dig deeper into ruby, which I recommend, but not necessary immediately, I’d look at Launch School.

Have a look on RailsCast <http://railscasts.com/> as well.

Aleeious,
Codeplace was great, and worth the price. I recommend. I also recommend Go Rails. 
If you want to dig deeper into ruby, which I recommend, but not necessary immediately, I’d look at Launch School.

Hi Aleeiuos, 
Specifically for getting some decent introductory hands-on experience with Rails, I recommend going through the Hartl tutorial: https://www. railstutorial.org/book.
Additionally, though they are somewhat out dated now, I would also recommend Mackenzie Child's 12-in-12 challenge where he walks you through building 12 small Rails apps in 12 weeks: https://youtu.be/7- 1HCWbu7iU. I think he's on Rails 3 or 4, but most of the content should still be valid.
Sincerely,

I'll answer in this email thread since it might help Aleeious as well, and hopefully might help others that are interested.

There is https://www.railstutorial.org/ book (which is free and good quality).

If you don't mind buying books I can recommend these:
Rails 4 in action - Manning

This one is for Rails 4 but I enjoyed it very much and most of the details should still be relevant, and sometimes you'll have to deal with older versions of Rails anyway.It also touches a bit on how to test Rails.

Agile Web Development with Rails 5.1 - The pragmatic programmers
Thesting is a bit more difficult but these books helped a lot:
Rails 5 Test Prescriptions - The pragmatic programmers
and maybe Effective Testing with RSpec 3
You can get most out of these books if you write the code and run it yourself as you read the books.
Hope that helps.
Cheers

Are you able to still login to the course? Has the course been updated for
the latest Ruby and Rails release? The last activity on their twitter
account is 13th of October 2016 and Feburary 17 on their blog. I have tried
contacting them via email awhile ago and all i got was an auto-response and
nothing else.

Quote:

Hello ________,

We received your email request! Someone from our team will get back to you
as soon as possible.

Thank you!

How long does it take to get a response from them usually?

Regards,

Aleeious
