I did not know anything about Ruby or Rails before this course. I found this course quite challenging because there was so many new concepts covered in very rapid fashion: Ruby, Rails, Rspec, all other tools. However, I think the coverage of the unit testing concepts was really useful. I had to go for google quite many times to find out resolve issues I had with the tools and assignments. But in the end, I think this course was a good one, rating it 4 out of 5 starts.

Course does not explain how to use RoR with mobile applications

This is a great introduction to ruby. Some of the assignments were tough to get your head around but once we really got into rails it was excellent

Several mistakes in the programming assignment.

Overall nice way to get introduced and familiarised with Ruby & Rails.

great course, awesome contents and grading!!

Assignment materials aren't actual on this time.

Very well!

Great Initiative

Amazing course lots to learn. The only flaw i would say is that rails has changed a lot and so have some of the online resources used by this course but the course video's haven't. That being said, It is likely you will find a solution to your problem in the discussion forums, so always check there when doing whatever you are doing. Additionally when i took this course rails 4.2.8 was the version used by the course, so it will be super beneficial to have this version for the course. (And don't worry, rails 5.0.3 isn't super different so don't worry about not getting to understand the latest version).

Solid introduction. I really liked the self-assessment checks of the coding assignments with rspec.

It would have been a nice touch if the coding examples adhered to the Ruby style guides a little better (Rubocop, rails linter, etc).

Amazing Starter Course.

Very good course. Teachers are very reactive to answer questions.

Es una buena introducción

Very good, the lectures are straightforward and the material is understandable and well-explained.

Good. But as the course is rather short, knowledge is not covered in detail and may easily be forgotten without extra practice.

Very good introduction course, thanks!

Support was pretty good but I spent a lot of time trying to fight through the thicket of version compatibilities. They introduce a lot of interdependent elements in one short class so that is definitely a feature. I would recommend learning Ruby elsewhere if you're completely new to it before starting this class. I paused to work through the very awesome "Head First Ruby" book and it gave me the skills to move on. What the course does well is show you how these many interdependent elements work together: Ruby, Rails, Sublime Text, homebrew, rbenv, rspec, httpparty, heroku. It's a lot to take in and you really have to explore each subtopic a little more on your own to make it work, but you finish with a pretty rich understanding of the ecosystem of tools and frameworks you need to be effective if you do. Definitely overall recommend, but know that you're going to have to do some work on your own.

generally a very well organised course. steps through the key knowledge very well, i bagan with no ruby or rails experience and got to the end without too much trouble. the most difficulty was the final assessment having the newer rails version installed and had to downgrade. otherwise very good.

Nice Course, well structured.

Only issue faced was with Grader not letting to use Rails 5, please be aware of this and use Rails 4.2.8 and save some time. :)

It is very much useful to the beginners who are thinking about their career in the software fields.Because this course is very much helpful to get an internships.

I should I would give 5 stars to this course. This is first course I took for ruby. The instructors are great, and the slides and videos are all good. The only concern is that the grading test, especially for the last assignment. The feedback is poor, and in order to get this course done, I have tried millions of ways. Some passed the unit test but failed the grading, some goes well in display but somehow doesn't work out for the unit test. It is a good course actually despite the grading part.

Great course, excelent topics, good assigments, content upgraded... And discussion module efficent...

Best, but it could be little difficult for beginner

If More hands on exercise is there then it would have been more awesome. Loved it although, thanks JHU.
