Veitshöchheim - January 31, 2008 - Stay on track with Ruby on Rails Bootcamp in Europe, April 7-11, 2008
Big Nerd Ranch Europe, premier provider of week-long, intensive training classes for web developers, system administrators and programmers, announced its popular Ruby on Rails Bootcamp taught by Charles Brian Quinn is coming back to the beautiful monastery "Kloster Eberbach" near Frankfurt, Germany, April 7-11, 2008. The intensive five-day class has been completely revamped for Rails 2.0. The updated class takes advantage of many of the new Rails 2.0 features including REST, MultiView, ATOM, ActiveSupport, and more.
Students save Euro 200 when signing up before March 7, 2008.
Ruby on Rails Bootcamp is designed specifically for developers, web designers, and project managers interested in creating robust and efficient web-based, database-driven applications for the Internet, as well as developing stable intranet and extranet solutions. Ruby on Rails with its robust framework has obtained a tremendous popularity among Web developers in recent years.
For best results, students should have some basic knowledge of web sites, and basic programming principles like if/else, objects, methods, and data. Students are encouraged to bring their own projects to class. Former students loved the "late night individual coding sessions with Charles" in addition to the rich set of topics during class.
The intensive five-day class provides the most comprehensive training available on what is rapidly becoming part of the web-application development canon. Drawing on the energy and experience of instructor Charles Brian Quinn, this Ruby on Rails training class provides real-world context to Ruby on Rails instruction. It covers the fundamentals and advanced areas of Ruby on Rails development.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- An introduction to the dynamic, open source programming language Ruby
- An introduction to Ruby on Rails and an examination of what Rails 2.0 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
Charles B. Quinn taps his extensive background developing and deploying large-scale database-driven web applications for Fortune 500 companies and government agencies as a partner at Highgroove Studios (a consulting firm specializing in Ruby on Rails development) to create an exhaustive and context-laden syllabus in Ruby on Rails training. Indeed, it is that level of practical knowledge as a developer that commends his class and makes Ruby on Rails Bootcamp outshine other training classes in the industry.
"One of the great pleasures in teaching a Ruby on Rails training class is sharing how Ruby on Rails can totally change one's approach to software development," commented Charles B. Quinn, Ruby on Rails Bootcamp instructor. "I've had students write me to tell me that Ruby on Rails has made their jobs fun again. I think the primary reason for that is the simplicity and elegance of the code. Ruby on Rails eliminates the clunky code, configuration-heavy design, and inherent limitations in ASP.net, Java, and PHP frameworks and applications."
