Ruby Training Courses

We are committed to Ruby and Rails. As the largest training company on the West Coast, Marakana has a regular Ruby and Ruby on Rails training calendar. Pick your course. Looking forward to meeting you in person! 

In this 4-day training course, you will learn to put your web development on Rails. Experience the Rails way of approaching web applications and see how you'll be able to spend less time configuring and more time developing.

Starting with the basics of Ruby and Rails, you'll learn the full Rails' MVC stack, testing techniques, Ajax and even web services. We'll work through the full life-cycle of a Rails project, giving you experience with all facets of a typical app.

Building Google Maps Applications with Rails and Ajax training course teaches students how to integrate mapping features into their Rails-driven web applications.

First, students will make a map, add some custom pins, and geocode a set of data using freely available services. After that the course gets into more map development topics, like building a usable interface, dealing with extremely large groups of points, and finding sources of raw information.

Finally the course dives into advanced topics: building custom map overlays such as your own info window and tooltip, creating your own map tiles and projections, using the spherical equations necessary to calculate surface areas on the earth, and building your own geocoder from scratch.

Ruby on Rails Administration training course covers the ins-and-outs of managing Ruby on Rails applications in a production environment.

Students will learn about the pros and cons of various server configurations and how to build them out, deploying new versions of Rails applications at the push of a button, monitoring, performance tuning, security-proofing, and scaling your Rails application to meet real-world demands.
