Rails Workshops

The Rails Workshop is an interactive session that combines the fundamentals of the Ruby Programming Language and the RubyOnRails framework.
The Workshop is full of hands on coding with prebuilt exercises which includes a full functional business driven application with payment gateway integration, ruby coding from the simple to the fairly complex code which would certainly not be complex for you after the Workshop.

What is Rails?

Rails is a full-stack framework for developing database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Control pattern. From the Ajax in the view, to the request and response in the controller, to the domain model wrapping the database, Rails gives you a pure-Ruby development environment. To go live, all you need to add is a database and a web server.
