Veitshöchheim - December 19, 2006 - Spring board for your Web developer career: Ruby on Rails Bootcamp in Germany, March 26-30, 2007
Big Nerd Ranch Europe announces a new opportunity to participate in the popular Ruby on Rails Bootcamp in Europe. The class, scheduled for March 26-30, 2007 at the distraction-free setting of Kloster Eberbach near Frankfurt, Germany, is five days of intensive instruction on Ruby on Rails for professional web developers. With its robust framework and lack of compile cycle, Ruby on Rails is ideally suited for a spectrum of needs; from start-ups, to government agencies, to full-scale enterprises all requiring either internal or client-facing web applications.
Students save Euro 200 when signing up before February 16, 2007.
Whether the student is a novice seeking a head-start in one of the hottest development languages in the industry, or a master developer seeking to expand her repertoire, Ruby on Rails is the perfect solution for developers, web designers and project managers charged with developing a sophisticated and scaleable web-based application.
The bootcamp is a five-day, exhaustive examination of the key aspects of Ruby development on the Rails framework necessary to producing master-level developers. Topics include, but are not limited to:
• An introduction to Ruby on Rails and an examination of what Rails is and isn't
• A detailed look at the Rails Model View Controller (MVC)
• Active Record Patterns (models, tables and attributes)
• Create, Read, Update and Delete (CRUD) functions
• Action Controllers and Action View
• Testing controllers and models, creating mock objects, assertions, and debugging
• Routing requests, creating patterns and error-handling
• Request Filters and Callbacks
• AJAX, Action Mailer, XML, Web Services, generating RSS feed
• Benchmarking, Caching, Deployment and Capistrano configuration
Instructor Charles Brian Quinn with his ability to provide catered, simple, and easy-to-follow training and curriculum design, has taught this class previously with Highgroove Studios, where he is a partner. In addition, he is a founder of Slingshot Hosting for Ruby on Rails business hosting, and an active member of the Ruby on Rails community. His engaging and energetic teaching style and rich experience in Ruby on Rails development positions him as an extraordinary instructor.
Commenting on the upcoming class, Mr. Quinn said, "Ruby on Rails provides an ideal synthesis between Ruby's Japanese simplicity and Rail's Danish design principles and has achieved its hallmark excellence thanks to the passionate devotion of its stalwart and loyal creators, users and promoters. It provides an excellent alternative to configuration and code-laden Java, the limitations and clunky code of ASP.net, and a more comprehensive and sophisticated solution to design, code and maintenance issues with PHP."
