Training Provided by Skills Matter

This hands-on, practical 4-day Ruby on Rails training has been developed by well-known RoR expert Chad Fowler.

This Ruby on Rails training is aimed and Web 2.0 developers, who have familiarity with Ruby on Rails but need to learn how to apply Ruby on Rails effectively on their Web Projects. The course presumes an understanding of Web concepts and OO programming and will launch directly into hands-on Rails development from day 1. Through a series of hands-on exercises, each building on previous exercises, the course will cover important best practices for Ruby programming and all major features of Rails 1.2. Delegates will have developed their own Ajax-powered applications in Rails by the end of the course.

About Chad
Chad has been active in the Ruby on Rails community for many years and is one of the developers and maintainers of RubyGems, the defacto standard packaging system for Ruby. He is also the contributing author to Programming Ruby: The Pragmatic Programmer's Guide and the author of the best-selling Rails Recipes.

Since July of 2004, Rails has been turning the world of Web development on its head. In its first year of existence, it has gone from niche language newcomer to the default choice for Web 2.0 application development. With a whole new language and new application framework to learn, this training will give attendees a much needed head start.
