Ruby on Rails Programming

In the course Ruby on Rails Programming from SpiralTrain, participants learn to develop Web applications with the Model View Controller (MVC) Framework Ruby on Rails.

Rails Intro

The Ruby on Rails Programming course starts with an explanation of the directory structure of Rails applications. Also discussed are using the Ruby Console, the principles of Rails Routing and installing Ruby Gems.

Rails Models

Then attention is paid to how Ruby Model classes can be generated and how these maps on database tables. Explained is how Database Migrations are created from the model classes that can create database tables with create queries. Many applications require the CRUD (Create, Read, Update and Delete) Pattern which is treated as well.

Forms

User input in Web Applications mostly comes from Forms and the Ruby on Rails Programming course discusses Form Creation with the Forms Builder and form helpers. Form validation and handling of errors are also covered.

Active Record

Next attention is paid to Object Relational Mapping in Ruby on Rails with Active Records. In the application, the developers usually then do not have to write SQL statements, since the SQL statements are generated by the Framework.

Action View

Also covered is how views are created in Ruby on Rails based on templates controlled by Action Controllers. Explained is how View paths can be modified with Prepend and Append.

Advanced Topics

Finally, some advanced topics are discussed such as security, the creation and handling of Rest APIs, as well as caching, performance and troubleshooting.
