FAQs
Our Ruby training covers programming fundamentals, scripting, object-oriented techniques and full web development using Ruby on Rails.
What is Ruby used for?
Ruby is a dynamic programming language used to build a wide range of applications, from web platforms and automation scripts to data processing tools. Its simplicity and flexibility make it ideal for rapid development, especially when paired with the Ruby on Rails framework for full web applications.
Is prior coding experience required?
Some programming experience is helpful before attending the Ruby Programming course, as it covers concepts like variables, control structures, and object orientation. If you're new to coding, we recommend starting with our Introduction to Programming course to build foundational knowledge and confidence before progressing to Ruby.
What is Ruby on Rails?
Ruby on Rails is an open-source web development framework built in Ruby. It follows the MVC (Model-View-Controller) design pattern and enables developers to build powerful, database-driven web applications quickly. It’s widely adopted for its convention-over-configuration approach, making it ideal for scalable, maintainable codebases.
What’s the difference between the three Ruby courses?
The Ruby Programming course focuses on the fundamentals of the Ruby language—ideal for beginners or those reading existing Ruby code. Ruby on Rails builds on that foundation, introducing the Rails framework and full-stack web development techniques. The combined five-day course delivers both sets of skills in one streamlined programme.
What tools or software will I need?
You’ll need a reliable internet connection and a computer. There’s no need to install any software, as you’ll access our pre-configured live lab environment where everything you need for the training is ready to use. This setup ensures a smooth, focused learning experience from day one.
