Since its initial release in 2004, Ruby on Rails has surged in popularity among cutting-edge web developers. And our original Rails screencast has been a best-seller for three years, establishing PeepCode as the authority on video training for Ruby developers.
Today, Rails developers are in high demand and Rails is widely available on hosting services across the Internet.
This 75 minute screencast 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!
NOTE : If you’re already experienced with previous versions of Rails, try the Rails 3 Upgrade Handbook.
You’ll learn to:
Install Rails on Mac, Windows, or Linux
Understand the important parts of the Ruby language
Navigate the default directory structure of a Rails application
Generate and write view templates
Link controllers together and prepare data for views
Design, implement, and use data models
This highly-polished screencast will give you a gentle introduction to the ideas that have transformed modern web development.
SKILLS
This screencast starts from scratch and teaches the basics of both the Ruby language and the Rails framework.

Testimonials
“Finally finished watching Meet Rails 3 Part 1 from @peepcode. If you want to start with Rails today, this is what you want to have. wow.”

“I purchased the two ‘Meet Rails 3’ screencasts and I must say that they were very well organised, easy to follow and to the point! After watching the screencasts I was able to continue programming my web app at least twice as fast as before, when I was searching online for help, and banging my head down with the various tutorials for RoR. Well done! Definitely worth the money, and I will gladly purchase any more advanced Rails 3 screncasts.”
Alex Nikolaidis
“Two days ater starting to watch part I and II, I was already making my own apps. I’m still far from being 100% independent but its the only method in which I have been able to make real progress. I can’t stop recommending your screencasts.”
