Learning Ruby on Rails - 1
Over the last 8 months, I've been the Cloud Engineer in an agile team where the core website is built on Ruby on Rails. I've learned how to deploy Dockerised Ruby on Rails applications on a Cloud platform, but never understood at a deep enough level
- what is going on in a Ruby on Rails application
- how to Dockerise a Rails application
I've decided to remedy that by coding along with a Rails for Beginners video course
Free resources
- GoRails.com recently released a video series Rails for beginners
- LearnEnough.com make the first chapter of their Ruby on Rails Tutorial available for free, and I've discovered that I've already got access to the whole course via O'Reilly Learning
- A Udemy course on building 8 beautiful Ruby on Rails Apps in 30 Days
- DigitalOcean have a tutorial series on Containerising a Ruby on Rails application
- Georg Ledermann's articles on Dockerising Rails the lean way and building Docker images the performant way
Paid-for resources
- A Udemy course on learning 25+ gems and build an e-learning platform
- (Not yet purchased) Sustainable Web Development with Ruby on Rails - a sample chapter is available for free
- YouTube Premium. This may seem a slightly odd addition, but the Rails on Beginners series is available as a YouTube Playlist and that means easy progress tracking across devices, and I can speed up the videos.
