In this 3 day Ruby on Rails:  Foundations course you will build and deploy a fully tested web application written in Ruby on Rails® in the latest stable version of Rails; Rails 3.

Not only will you take away with you a deeper understanding of Ruby on Rails web application framework but also the tools and techniques needed to enhance your development life even on non-Rails projects.

This course takes you from  the fundamentals, on day one, to using Rails in a variety of professional environments.

This course will also introduce the testing framework, Cucumber, to delegates. Cucumber lets developers and clients/stake holders describe how software should behave in plain text. Unlike other testing frameworks, all of the scenarios are written in plain English. This is invaluable when talking to clients and project stake holders. Instead of you, the developer, interpreting what the client wants, you both are speaking the same language so conceptually both you, the developer, and the client, are on the same page.

Cucumber itself is written in Ruby, but it can be used to test other languages including but not limited to Java, C# and Python.

Rails, together with Cucumber, can make a significant improvement to your work as a developer, making this course a sound investment of your time and money.

At the moment the key driver for most organisations is cost saving, although the UK public sector has published carbon reduction targets for 2012 and 2020.
