Join the Professional Rails Code Along Course and learn to build real-world applications using Ruby on Rails with TDD/BDD. Ideal for those looking to level up their skills!
In this course, you'll get hands-on experience building a professional-grade Ruby on Rails application using real-time coding and best practices.
Develop a real world Rails project using TDD/BDD, including a step by step guide to building professional applications.
Hi and welcome to the Professional Rails Code Along Course, where I will walk through how to build a real world Ruby on Rails project that I was hired by a client to develop. My name is Jordan Hudgens, and I'll be your instructor for the course. I've built many different Ruby on Rails applications throughout the past few years for companies such as Eventbrite and Quip and one of my passions is helping individuals learn how to code.
After completing this course you will be able to build a production Rails project from scratch. But there are a million courses that will help you do that. What makes this course different is that you'll learn how to build a Rails application like a professional developer. I took a completely different approach to creating this course. I don't edit any mistakes and I filmed the entire set of videos in real time so you can watch my exact process when I am tasked with building a real world application. I made this decision so that you can get a transparent view into what it takes to become a pro developer, and also so you can see how I work through challenges, all in real time.
One of the most critical requirements for a professional Rails developer is a strong knowledge of testing. With that in mind, every feature that we build in the course will be created with the test driven development process. Some of the key features you'll learn how to implement are:
Using TDD and BDD with the RSpec and Capybara testing frameworks
Working with the Twilio API to send SMS messages
Integrating a permission structure for users
Implementing an administrator dashboard
Working with automated email components
Creating an approval workflow from scratch
Creating JavaScript Growl notifications
And much more!
This course is not for the faint of heart. The ideal student for this project is someone who has already taken a basic Rails course and wants to take their skill to the professional level.
Each lesson comes paired with the source code implemented at that stage so that you can follow along and compare your code with the codebase for the application. And beyond that you can also use the source code to extend it and build your own production applications.
Please feel free to review the course curriculum and I look forward to going through the material with you on your development journey!

This course is amazing. I was kind of sceptical to see that we started off with a Rails 4 application but this course turned out to be really awesome and I completed it with a Rails 6 application. Although I have been working on ROR but this course showed me an app going from inception to deploying to production which is really nice. Key take aways for me are:
1. Understanding a requirement and planning it out.
2. TDD, this was my first experience with TDD and I really liked it. But I have an impression that to go with TDD your requirements should be 100% clear. (which it should be anyway)
3. Code refactoring.
4. How to manage/organise view files.
5. How to organise view helpers.
6. Researching about open source libraries and configuring it to make it work with the project. Actually I had to do this a lot because not everything worked as expected and I had to use alternate libraries or their updated versions.
The course is amazing, I like the idea of showing us how you normally work and how you would tackle different problems.
Курс хороший, но уже немного устарел и требует небольших доработок.
В самом начале очень не хватает карты приложения, чтобы понимать что мы будем описывать и в каких закономерностях. Я только к концу понял, что мы работаем с "часами переработки" и зачем вообще они нужны!
It's my next course from Jordan. I like the way he conducts the process of learning. Very clear, very informative.
Great way to see a pro working and learn from him. really good if you have not worked with a pro coder before.
Amazing course. I really like Jordans way of teaching. Learned quite a lot in this course. I'm not a beginner to rails but I have never done TDD/BDD for any applications I've been apart off. This course is about 4 years old and is still very relevant. I'd ensure maybe you have the basics of rails down if you are trying to tackle it using Rails 6 and updated Gems. The testing gems are essentially the same. I've added a full list of obstacles and some links to get over them in the first lecture comment section hoping it might help people move along a little faster. Best 3 weeks i've spent doing a course in a long time. Great work Jordan. Love your Rails courses.
Enjoying the course. good pace. useful info. Likeable, friendly, approachable - thanks.
The course is a bit long. Prefer a simplified version without the testing part (can actually test it out in the browser?)
Good step by step. Instructor has notes that are available to help along the way.

This course is aging and rails and ruby versions have continued to be developed, some of the gems like factory girl needs updating to factory bot and link to administrate has changed and the bundle command is broken. I would have spent more time trying to fix it if the author told me what versions of ruby he was using.
