What you'll learn

This course introduces Rails 3, the result of two years of low-level improvements, API refinements, and performance optimizations. If you are just learning Rails or if you have limited knowledge and want to learn more, this is the video for you! After going through the basics, in the second half of the course, you'll learn to use Rails' packaging and code generation tools, work with stylesheets and JavaScript files, link data models together, and build powerful controllers in only a few lines. You'll learn to build forms and organize view templates for easy reuse and maintenance. More than just a quick overview, you'll learn tips and tricks used by professional Rails developers.
