The course meets Fridays in Phillips 318 from 1:25-2:40PM. We'll meet for 10 weeks, starting August 29, skipping September 19, and ending November 7.
This course will give an introduction to the web framework Ruby on Rails. We'll cover the Ruby scripting language, basic Rails, issues in authentication and authorization, testing, using Rails plugins, using JavaScript and Ajax in Rails applications, deployment and scaling. We will build two applications from scratch, and do extensive in-class exercises.
We'll be following course materials created by Dean Strelau.
