Ruby and Ruby on Rails

In this 4-day course, attendants will learn the fundamentals of the programming language Ruby as well as become familiar and make good use of the Rails MVC framework based on Ruby. Special attention is given to what makes Rails agile: - transparent development, - a framework that delivers working software early in the development cycle, - the Don't Repeat Yourself concept that facilitates responding to change and constructive collaboration with users and business - and test-first design thanks to a baked-in testing framework. Course attendants will quickly experience that the Rails framework makes these principles happen naturally and spontaneously.
