Full Stack Web Developer with Ruby-on-Rails
(600 clock hours)
Description/Objectives: The Full Stack Web Developer Ruby-on-Rails program is designed to introduce participants to building dynamic, database-backed web applications with the popular Rails web framework. Participants receive hands-on experience planning, designing, coding, securing, testing, and deploying dynamic web applications. Participants also learn how to use Rails-flavored Ruby language features, Git, Heroku, and other valuable web development tools.
Upon Completion, students will have the basic skills necessary to work as a web application developer with Rails. A Ruby-on-Rails developer is responsible for writing server-side web application logic in Ruby, around the framework Rails. Ruby-on-Rails developers usually develop back-end components, connect the application with the other (often third-party) web services, and support the front-end developers by integrating their work with the application. Ruby on Rails, as a framework, has gained popularity tremendously over a short period of time. The goal of the framework is to reduce the time and effort required to build a web application.
This course prepares individuals for entry-level jobs as web developers, or software developers. Graduates may find suitable employment at various employers, such as web development/design firms, Advertising firms, or in the web/software development departments of businesses. Students will learn to develop, design, deploy, and manage their own web designs. Upon completion of this program, students will be able to work in a collaborative team environment using modern web and programming technologies in the MySQL, Java, JavaScript, jQuery and HTML/CSS technology areas incorporating Ruby on Rails.
At the conclusion of this program, students will be able to:
- Install and configure a complete Rails environment
- Build and deploy a complete Rails application from start to finish
- Transform static sites and pages into dynamic web applications
- Understand and work with the powerful Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern
- Structure page layouts with Bootstrap, custom CSS, and Sass
- Take advantage of useful Ruby language features
- Secure sites with registration, password authentication, and SSL
- Support micro posts, followers, and other user collaboration features
Program Length: 6 months (approx. 24 weeks), full-time; 7.5 months (approx. 30 weeks), part-time
