Foundation

In Bloc’s Rails Fundamentals course, you’ll learn how to create full stack web apps from scratch. You’ll learn common developer tools such as Git, GitHub, the command line, and Sublime, our recommended text editor. You’ll explore object-oriented programming with Ruby as you build a command line application. Finally, learn the Rails framework as you build a full stack application using test-driven development.

In the Project Phase of your apprenticeship, you’ll leverage the fundamentals learned in the Foundation Phase to build three to five production quality apps. You’ll work on a series of applications to create a portfolio that showcases your talent. During the Project Phase, your mentor will be your client, senior developer, and project manager.
