Daniel Lefebvre – Ruby on Rails for Beginners

Learn To Integrate Front End and Back End Development with the Ruby Programming Language and Rails Framework

You’ve learned HTML and CSS– and probably some Javascript and PHP. Did you ever wonder why you need four separate languages to create a web application? Is there a better, more unified solution? If you’ve been looking for an easy-to-learn, rapid application development environment, Ruby on Rails is for you.

Why Ruby on Rails?

Ruby on Rails– commonly called just “Rails”– is an increasingly popular language and framework for creating web applications. The Rails framework provides templates to complete such common tasks as:

• Retrieving Web Service Content
• Querying a Database
• Creating and Using Page Templates
• Much, much more

Because the templates are already part of the Rails framework, you’ll spend less time architecting and coding common tasks. The Rails framework is a time saver that doesn’t sacrifice power or flexibility.

Every day, new jobs are posted for prepared Ruby on Rails Developers. Increase your opportunities– whether you work as a contractor, freelancer, or are looking for a full-time job by learning this important framework and language.
