Some of the top sites using Ruby on Rails are Basecamp, Twitter, Shopify, Github, LivingSocial, Groupon, Hulu, Airbnb, Yellow Pages and much more.

This course provides a structured introduction to programming, with varied data structures as simple mini projects as developed moving on to Rails where a Todo web app project is developed. It utilizes video and text lectures, homework and exercises. There will also be references to free resources available on the internet to supplement the course materials.

Some features of this course are:

Hi, I'm Mashrur, I'm a full-time programming trainer specializing in Web Application Development, Machine Learning and Cyber Security. That's 3; I know, but I love them all. I have been a technology professional for over a decade and have degrees in Computer Science and Economics.

My niche is building comprehensive career focused technology courses for students entering new/complex and challenging fields in today's technology space. This is a nice segway for me, since my real passion is building and tinkering with programming languages. I love everything to do with development and learning about new tools and technologies. My favorite languages are Ruby on Rails and Python, and my favorite tech fields are web app development, cyber security and data-analytics (which is where Ruby on Rails and Python fall into place nicely). I encourage my students to focus on these technologies as well since their potential is immense.

In my past (corporate) life, I worked with Enterprise Software Systems with roles played in analysis, development and management. I led projects using both agile and waterfall methodologies and thus am well versed in the inner workings of the software development and delivery world.

During my time in corporate America, I realized how much I enjoyed training new hires and new team members and helping them succeed. I had dedicated a good amount of time over 7 years on-boarding new analysts and developers and then worked with them to build and maintain systems which put me in a very unique position of knowing what new entrants to a field need to succeed. I strongly believe in focusing on fundamentals and practice; and not in shortcuts or gimmicks.

So join me for my comprehensive career-focused technology courses as I guide you through the world of web application development, machine learning, cyber security and data-analytics using Python, Ruby on Rails, Flask, MySQL, Selenium and Django and bringing your ideas and passions to life.
