Getting Started with Rails
Build a full-featured job board application using Ruby on Rails from the ground up. Start with installation and MVC fundamentals, and add features including rich text descriptions, user authentication, and email subscriptions with unsubscribe support. Apply MVC architecture patterns and explore real-time functionality using Hotwire and Turbo Streams before deploying the application to a live server with Kamal.
What You Will Master
- Build a complete Rails app from scratch using modern tools like Mise, Action Text, and Hotwire
- Implement authentication and user-scoped resources without third-party gems
- Send automated emails to subscribers using background jobs and Rails mailers
- Add real-time UI updates using Turbo Streams and WebSockets
- Deploy a production Rails app to a live server using Kamal
Prerequisites
- Basic familiarity with Ruby syntax is helpful
- Comfort using the command line and a code editor
- Understanding of basic web concepts (HTTP requests, HTML forms)
Who is this for?
Developers who want to build and ship a real-world Rails application end-to-end, gaining practical experience with modern Rails features and deployment.
