Ruby on Rails training: Advanced Ruby on Rails
|
Course Number: 671
Duration: 4 days
view class outline
Advanced Ruby on Rails Training Overview
This advanced Ruby on Rails course is for developers who know their way around the basics of Ruby and Rails (as reflected in our Introduction to Ruby on Rails course) and want to take their skills and understanding of Ruby and Rails to the next level.
The course explores vital Rails subsystems and facilities: routing and REST support, caching, plugins, deployment, and more. Basic Rails areas, like associations and templating, get an expert-level treatment. And the Ruby language comes alive through in-depth examination of Ruby's object model, important components like regular expressions and file I/O, and the dynamic behavior of Ruby methods and functions that makes Rails tick.
Location and Pricing
Most Accelebrate courses are taught on-site at our clients' locations worldwide for groups of 3 or more attendees and are customized to their specific needs. Please visit our client list to see organizations for whom we have recently delivered training. To receive a customized proposal and price quote, please contact us.
In addition, some courses are available as live, online classes for individuals. To see a schedule of online courses, please visit http://www.accelebrate.com/online_training/xml_html_js.htm.
Advanced Ruby on Rails Training Prerequisites
All Ruby on Rails training attendees should have some experience with server-side web development. Programming experience in an object-oriented language would also be helpful.
Hands-on/Lecture Ratio
This course is a fast-paced, hands-on workshop, with the bulk of class time spent developing Ruby on Rails applications in consultation with a seasoned instructor.
Advanced Ruby on Rails Training Materials
All students receive a copy of Hacking with RUBY: Ruby and Rails for the Real World and related course materials.
Software Needed on Each Student PC
- The Ruby interpreter version 1.8.6 or later.
- The Rails framework 2.0.0 or later.
- SQLite3 and MySQL databases (http://dev.mysql.com) works immediately with Rails, but many others have supported adapters (DB2, Oracle, and Postgres among them).
- A plain text editor, preferably one that understands the syntax of Ruby and Rails.
Note: We would be delighted to customize the platform of this class to match what you are running in production.
Advanced Ruby on Rails Training Objectives
- Understand Ruby's object model and dynamism in depth
- Go beyond the basics in fundamental Rails areas
- Understand the REST support that has transformed Rails
- Learn current state-of-the-art deployment strategies and tools
- Test Rails code with built-in and third-party tools
- Learn how to extend Rails applications, and Rails itself, with plugins and custom code
