$5 class fee for anyone that is not a LaunchHouse Member, Portfolio Company, or Current Student.

ABOUT THIS CLASS Want to learn Ruby on Rails? (...of course you do.) But maybe you don’t know where to start? In this class we’ll get moving with Rails. This class is for the very beginner, but with that said, we’ll assume you have a few basics down (see below) so that we can jump right in and start building. In only two hours we’ll code and deploy a simple app. It will connect to the database, and the user will be able to update, edit and delete info. In the final steps we’ll deploy to heroku and set this thing free so that everyone in the world can check in and see just how far your Rails skills have come - in only 2 hours.
