Training

We specialize in both Ruby training and Ruby on Rails training.

We offer both on-site classes and public classes. And we are happy to provide customized courses to meet your specific needs.

Please contact us if you have any questions or would like to discuss on-site or customized training.

Course Catalog

Ruby

• Ruby Fundamentals Workshop: This three-day course is for developers/programmers who already know another programming language who want to learn Ruby. We will cover the fundamentals of the Ruby language, including its object-oriented nature and those features that go beyond what other mainstream languages offer.
• “Ready for Rails” Ruby Workshop: This two-day course is a streamlined version of our Ruby Fundamentals Workshop designed to give web developers a solid foundation of Ruby, so they're well prepared to understand Ruby on Rails in depth.

Ruby on Rails

• Ruby on Rails Workshop: This three-day course provides broad coverage of the Ruby on Rails web application framework, so upon completion participants are ready to build dynamic web applications.
• Ruby Plus Rails Combo Workshop: This is a five-day combination of our “Ready for Rails” Ruby Workshop plus our Ruby on Rails Workshop in one convenient week of training at a discounted rate.
