This is a practical hands-on 2 day workshop on Ruby on Rails that will help you
get started with Rails with a solid foundation of the fundamentals of Ruby and
Rails. You do not need to know either Ruby or Rails to benefit from this
workshop. The workshop will drive you through some hands-on coding as well.
This is a quick start workshop for professional Ruby on Rails development and
will set you in the right direction with just the right set of tips, tricks and
ideas. We look beyond what is publicly available. We look at the upcoming
version of Rails and the new features and let you know the benefits in advance
of public releases. While this workshop is meant for developers, it will also
be an ideal technical introduction for Project Managers.

Software application developers looking to start on Rails or already working on
Rails will benefit a lot from this workshop to write more elegant Rails
