Johns Hopkins University: Ruby on Rails

INSTRUCTORS

Instructors: Kalman Hazins

Specialization Description

In this course, we will explore how to build web applications with the Ruby on Rails web application framework, which is geared towards rapid prototyping. Yes, that means building quickly! At the conclusion of this course, you will be able to build a meaningful web application and deploy it to the “cloud” using a Heroku PaaS (Platform as a Service).

Course include

Become familiar with core concepts behind Ruby on Rails, such as CoC (Convention Over Configuration) and MVC (Model-View-Controller). We will then learn about consuming JSON API with HTTParty, a Ruby gem. We will then integrate this ability to consume JSON API to serve as the data layer for our Rails application.

Finally, to conclude this module we will deploy the application to Heroku and write a unit test that will verify the desired functionality.
