Boost your CV with this Ruby on Rails master class bundle
TL;DR: As of March 2, you can pay what you want for the Complete Ruby on Rails Master Class Bundle.
While there are a slew of beginner-friendly languages out there, one that generates almost no hype — but really deserves more attention — is Ruby on Rails.
To be clear, Ruby on Rails isn't a programming language, per se. Rather, it's a web application framework: a collection of shortcuts written in Ruby, which enables users to circumvent learning a bunch of esoteric programming jargon while building web apps super fast. Ruby on Rails — unlike, say, the Notorious P.H.P. — won't make you sob after few minutes of coding, because it actually reads like English.
For beginning developers, here's another Ruby on Rails perk: if you need help, it's not hard to find. The Ruby on Rails community is a very active one, and the internet is overflowing with resources. Yet just because Ruby on Rails is easy to pick up doesn't mean it's any less powerful or valuable. Companies that are built on Ruby on Rails reportedly include Airbnb, Groupon, Basecamp, Square, Shopify, Hulu, Kickstarter, and Crunchbase. In other words, some of the biggest sites in the world.
These companies will likely have job openings specialising in Ruby on Rails, and startups in general value great Ruby on Rails developers because it's a full-stack technology. Unlike other popular languages or frameworks, it's designed for use both on the front and back end. In other words, you can use Ruby on Rails to build an entire web app from scratch without outsourcing work to other programmers versed in other languages — so companies value it for its efficiency and versatility.
One great way to get started is with the Complete Ruby on Rails Master Class Bundle — a massive e-learning collection that packs eleven courses spanning an array of essential Ruby learning. It normally retails for £622, but for a limited time, you can pay what you want for it.
Here’s how it works: if you pay under the average price offered by all buyers, you’ll get the Comprehensive Ruby on Rails course. Beat that average price, and you’ll unlock all the courses. You’ll learn to develop a real-world Rails project, build an Angular 2 app, learn HTML and CSS essentials, master the Ruby on Rails web framework, automate your coding workflow, and much more.
