Getting Really Started with Rails

Nathaniel Brown | Vancouver, Canada

Nathaniel Brown

This FREE mini-workshop will be on how to get started with (nearly) all parts of Rails. From generating your first app, understanding the directory structure, to using migrations, customizing the routes, creating a few database tables, using the has_many and belongs_to relationships.

Walking you through building an application with all of the keystones of the framework being touched upon. The result - you will gain a well rounded perspective of how the Rails framework can be leveraged to save you time, be more productive, and focus on writing the lines of code that truly matter, and letting Rails handle the rest.
