Beginning Ruby and Rails

Ruby is no longer the "unknown" language. It has become known by developers around the world and is the preferred language by many. Ruby gets the best from the object-oriented, functional and imperative worlds, but most of all it is fun!

We will get an overview of Rails and get you ready to build your first Rails application!
